India’s telecom industry has shown strong growth. The primary reason for increasing revenues in this sector is due to the rise in wireless subscribers. Mobile phones are becoming more affordable and are viewed as a necessity today for instant communication. However, over the years the average revenue per unit (ARPU) accruing to operators has been falling, shifting emphasis to alternative means of revenue generation. This has led to growing interest in the mobile value added services (MVAS) market which is forecasted to grow by 39% annually from 2007-11.
