the ABCD of indian mobile market

I attended the Mobile Application Conference at Nimhans convention center today. Interesting talks. Some of the key points made were

1. India vs Bharat dichotomy - N5800 vs 1100
2. 3G will affect the high end segment
3. small town segments - different needs (vernacular, etc.)

An interesting observation by people in the business was as follows: Indians are in general penny pinching, however, they are willing to pay for the following over mobile segment
A - astrology
B - bollywood
C - cricket
D - devotion

The surprising thing is that business such as SMS for businesses/market alerts were not mentioned.
