I had lunch today with an Indian outsourced services company (more on THAT later), got back and noticed this new GigaOM (Om Malik) blog. Interesting stuff … well worth a read!

Excerpt:

“Earlier this month, India surpassed the U.S. as the second-largest mobile market (by subscriber count) in the world. With close to 280 million subscribers, it now has enough of a user base to become a breeding ground for a new class of applications that take into account local realities such as a lack of high -peed networks, cheap phones and a reliance on SMS.”
