India today has about 25 million telephones and about 1 million Internet connections for its one billion people. It is obvious that India urgently needs at least 150 to 200 million telephone and Internet connections. Is this expansion from 25 million telephone connection and 1 million Internet connections to 150-200 million telephones and Internet connecti on possible in a short time frame? Has India achieved such rapid growth in any area?

What made this spectacular performance possible? Are there lessons to be learned here which enables expansion of telecom and Internet connections?
