Here speeds are pretty lame compared to developed nations. Big towns can have upto 2Mbps and cities are having 8Mbps. The problem is b/w is capped. If you want to go unlimited (UL), then it's extremely costly. I have 512kbps UL and pay $30 (1500) per month. At max in south, we can only get 1Mbps UL plans. But some ISPs provide with night browsing with 2Mbps UL. There are not many players for internet. But sure enough I think it's all about to change. With the introduction of WiMax (Relience, TATA etc) and 3G based EvDO(BSNL) we can surely see growth in broadband. For example some cities in Tamil Nadu are EVDO coverted and get UL connections @2.4Mbps for just $10. 3G spectrum has been auctioned and we can expect HSDPA/HSUPA with WiMax. I think the problem is due to vastness. Sure USA is developed. But average speed is around 1.9Mbps but Japan has 63Mbps!!! Why? It's because in small countries it easy to implement ;) http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070529-survey-average-broadband-speed-in-us-is-1-9mbps.html I am from South India….

I believe the Bollywood soundtracks industry is supposed to be the biggest media industry in the world. Should be an interesting place to watch what happens, given that Hollywood has very little involvement with huge Indian cinema business! Now there’s a culture that loves it’s music and films!

And one more thing, our communication minister have recently declared that government is preparing for free broadband for everyone. About torrent awareness, Read this There is 90% possibility that you fellow readers computer could be running on a processors designed by an Indian (i.e. Intel). And maybe You r not aware that Indians are known as BIG DADDY'S of Software Tech over the whole world. Then u can guess peoples from India could know about Bittorrent?

Now 250 million Indians are connected and still counting . Now coming back to bittorrent and broadband , PC and internet [ not broadband] have just started to get affordable. We will grow or rather explode [much like the population]. People here have just learnt bout Rapidshare here so bittorrent is still far away.
