The CDG is comprised of CDMA service providers and manufacturers, application developers and content providers. By working together, the members help to ensure interoperability among systems, while expediting the availability of 3G CDMA technology to consumers.
The current rate of CDMA subscriber adds in India averages 1.8 Million subs a month and this should take the CDMA Subscribers past the 50 Million mark in the near future. CDMA was first deployed widely in India in 2003 & in three years, the subscriber base has crossed 44 Million, giving CDMA a 30% market share of the total mobility market place. This, after having conceded a lead of 8 years to the competing Technology, GSM which started in 1995 in India. In fact with the launch of CDMA services by Reliance & Tatas in 2003, tariffs dropped by 45% & real time growth started in the Mobility Market Place.
