GSA Announces India Chapter

GSA - the Global mobile Suppliers Association, has
announced today that it will create a GSA India Chapter to support the growth of
GSM and ensure full communication, information sharing and industry support for
the Indian market. GSM has enabled the Indian market to grow to almost 9 million
subscribers in a few short years. However, with a market penetration of still
less than 1%, India is now poised to experience rapid subscriber growth and data
usage.

Addressing a combined audience of over 450 operators,
government, regulators, analysts, media and other interested players at the GSA
"GSM Technology - A Promise for India" seminars in New Delhi and
Mumbai, Alan Hadden, President, GSA said: "The response that we have had
from these two events has been very positive. We have been asked to continue
this good work and have responded to the needs of the Indian market. The GSA
India Chapter will build on the work we have started and provided extended
support and communication at a local level."
