this is not a shocking fact for me. As I see how many mobiles are good compatible for internet browsing. Is 3G available all over the india..? NO

Then how can we expect a information revolution. India will grow in this field but not like mobile revolution.

I want to know one more thing that is whether the O.4% users are different from the users that connect mobile to computer and uses internet. Because most of the mobile internet subscribers are using it to get the internet on computers.

Yes I agree. Unless such Mobile sets and data plans are not made affordable, this percentage will not grow fast.

Some good news:

Reliance is ready to launch a new cell phone for Rs 480 or $10 which will also have GPRS 2G capability, Making it the cheapest internet phone in the world!
Futher, As per TRAI’s numbers, mobile internet users are 14 times more than the broadband users! Don't know whether second one is true or not read at: http://www.pluggd.in/indian-telecom-industry/mobile-internet-more-broadband-penetration-in-india-946/

I got an internet enabled phone a few months back.But when i used internet on mobile device it was a horrifying experience.Click a link and go on waiting for infinite time,but at the same time the mobile phone operator will always charge you.Even if you have a EDGE(around 230kbps) enabled phone you will still not get the speed of GPRS(around 40kbps).
At present the Phone operators are talking of migrating to 3G servics.With booming mobile markets and mobile phone networks being spread all over the country how can they think of giving high speed 3G data services when they cann't even run 2G properly.
During the last few months TRAI has taken sufficient steps to reduce call rates but it has done almost nothing to reduce Internet Tariff in India.Internet on mobile is still too much costly.I think when 3G will come we will then get the peak speed of EDGE network and when WiMAX(which has been already in use in some countries like Venezuala) will come we will get the speed of 3G.Just shame on India's phone operators

Yes this is the post I was waiting for...even I was worried about this scenario.
Right now I am doing engineering, and for almost last 4 years I'm using mobile Internet,it is really helpful. I use it for e-mail, IM, twitter, and surfing. Surfing becomes very costly while IM is a time and cost saver. Moreover this situation prevailing here is due to very cheap call rates. Most of the time I am online, ppl know about this and because of this they simply call me for certain queries like finding route on map, results, reservation/train status and so on, it becomes quite frustrating for me. In the present situation almost all engineering students here have wap/gprs enables mobiles but they simply don't like to use it, sometimes may be because they don't know how to configure gprs setting on handset!(which is is big shame for technical student).
While coming to speed, its fair for surfing. But as I already said it is costly.Data plans are very funny like Rs.99 for 100Mb! Data uses is very low.
Hope the situation will get well by coming years, as I am seeing some change.
