    HI

    You have mentioned only Korea and China.There are other Asian Tigers waiting to roar. Broadband penetration in India is set to Boom.
    Its basically because we have the late movers advantage.Plus thanks to outsourcing, we have exposure to whats happening right and wrong in the erstwhile leading markets.This gives the planners , the government, the corporates to pick and chose the best options available.Thanks to Chinese hardware manufacturers Huwaie and ZTE, India should be looking to a massive rise in Teledesnsity and Broadband penetration in near future!!
