MUMBAI: India will remain the highest growth market for telecommunications with around 35 million new subscribers in 2005, said Gartner on Tuesday.

This means an 18 per cent increase from 2004, said Gartner. "This accounts for almost one-fourth of the new subscribers forecasted in Asia Pacific."

The growth will occur in selected technologies, mainly mobile.

The consumer segment is rapidly gaining importance, driven by adoption of mobile services, said Gartner. This is reflected in their in increased contribution towards spending for telecommunication services, from 35 per cent in 2002, to 43 per cent in 2005.

By 2008, according to Gartner, the consumer segment will account for more than half of telecommunications spending.
