Call Centers to US make India 2nd largest wireless market

Ok, that's probably not the real reason that India is set to become the world's second largest cell phone market (call centers probably use Skype) but how ironic would that be, if they knocked off the current number two, the United States because they were calling the United States?

Anyway, here's the facts: China has the most cellular subscribers at 540.5 million. America currently has 256 million cellular subscribers to India's 250.93 million; but India's cell phone penetration is only about 25%, and they're adding 8-9 million new subscribers every month; which would peg India to pass the US in total subscribers some time in mid April.

With America only adding 2-3 million subscribers a month, and it being a much more saturated wireless market, chances are America won't be number 2 again anytime soon.
