Content revenues in the Indian region hit $8.3 billion by 2013, says Juniper. The researcher says revs are will hit $3 billion in 2008 and predicts the arrival of 3G in 2009 will boost an already buoyant market for ringtones, games and music. Other findings were:
- The Indian mobile user base is expected to rise from 431 million in 2008 to nearly 740 million in 2013
- Blended ARPU levels are expected to decline steadily across the region, although the sharp fall in voice ARPU will be partially offset by the steady increase from data service
- India will provide the largest share of cumulative regional revenues over the forecast period, followed by Pakistan
