Ashish,

The way I read the numbers, there seem to be 11.66m fixed internet connections and 76m wireless internet connections.

The number of users are likely to be higher in case of fixed (because of connection sharing in cybercafes) and lower in case of wireless (because not everyone with a GPRS connection is an active user). Still, there should be at least 20-30m wireless internet users, which is comparable to the user numbers for fixed internet. And this number is growing much faster than the fixed user number.

I think this number of 11.66 million is the number of internet connections in India. A large portion of internet users in country access internet through cyber cafes or such shared connections. Guess that explains the figure.

I meant 11.66 million. Not 11.66%.
It would be less than 1.66%… (counting more than 1 billion Indians…)

There are only 11.66% Indians that have internet?

Wow – thats a very low number than anticipated…
