The country's telecom sector has been growing at a fast pace, so much so that there was an addition of 119.14 lakh telecom subscribers in the month of June this year. This takes the total number of telephone connections in the country to 4648.35 lakhs, as of June 30, 2009.

The  wireless (GSM and CDMA) segment has seen the maximum increase with 120.48 lakh connections, however, the wireline segment has witnessed a steep decline.
