In spite of growing number of internet users, high talent pool and a big technology outsourcing industry, pc and internet penetration in India has been slow. The slow uptake is often attributed to lack of infrastructure. It is not just rural parts of India that lack infrastructure. For example, whitefield area in bangalore (which is a prime tech hub) still has only one broadband provider - BSNL. Every other provider - Airtel, Reliance, Tata - has refused to invest in laying cables in this part of bangalore. This is a very similar situation about 10 years ago when it was extremely difficult to get a landline connection and there were huge backlogs. The introduction of mobile phones at affordable price changed everything and India now boasts world's second largest number of mobile subscribers. Could the introduction of affordable tablets combined with 3G connectivity in India be the next game changer? I believe it could be and in next 10 years it could get 2 -5 times bigger than number of ipads sold today.
