The Indian telecom industry has experienced rapid growth over the past two decades. Tele-density in India increased from 4% in 2004 to over 56% in 2010. The number of telephone subscriptions grew from a few million fixed lines in 1997 to over 671 million total subscriptions by June 2010, with wireless subscriptions reaching 635 million. Several government policies helped facilitate this growth, such as allowing private players to enter in 1992, establishing an independent regulator in 1997, and increasing foreign investment limits over time. The telecom sector is now one of the fastest growing and vibrant industries in India.

The merger between Aircel and Reliance Communications failed due to legal and regulatory delays in receiving approvals, as well as increased competition in the telecom sector. This led to a critical situation for Aircel, as it had to shut down its 2G and 3G services in all circles. To solve this, Aircel deployed WiMAX networks using Alvarion's BreezeMAX platform to provide stable and reliable broadband access as an alternative to traditional copper lines. This enabled Aircel to faster expand its networks, increase revenues, and accelerate its return on investment.

Telecom infrastructure has contributed significantly to India's aggregate output growth over several phases of development and policy reforms since 1994. Reforms led to independent regulation, increased competition and investment, resulting in exponential growth from negligible to significant levels. The mobile revolution and latest technologies like 3G and 4G have increased tele-density and benefited consumers through reduced prices and improved access. However, further infrastructure investment and innovative business models are still needed to achieve full potential, especially in rural areas.
