According to PricewaterhouseCoopers latest findings, India is poised to record the highest Internet access spending growth rate of 49.7 percent between 2001-2005, despite it being grouped with the low telephone penetration countries.
The consultancy firm has predicted that India will have 25 million users in 2005, up from a mere three million in 2000.
The highest annual growth during the five years would be seen in 2001 at 93 percent. This growth would gradually taper off to 60.6 percent in 2002, 48.6 percent in 2003, 32.1 percent in 2004 and 23.8 percent in 2005.
