Mobile internet users in India outnumber PC internet users 3 to 1

There was an interesting article in India's Economic Times over the weekend that confirms what a lot of people know already: mobile web is fast becoming the primary means of accessing the web for many people, specially in developing nations. India has 9 million internet subscribers against 31 million mobile internet users who use the mobile internet "to read and reply to mails, download content and for online transactions". About 54% of new handsets sold in 2006 were internet-enabled according to the same report. The figures come from the Indian regulator, so presumably they are reasonably accurate.
