Low cost handset is not just about bringing down the cost but at the same
time you need to add flexibility, more features at the same cost. India is
adding close to 40M subscriber every year and you can't fulfill that demand
just by second hand handsets.

Projection for sub 1000RS. phones for Indian market is around 150-180M
handset by 2008 and there is a very thin line between low cost and entry
level handset. Chipset vendors are already shipping GSM modules around 5$.

I know people are talking about downloadable local language fonts then why
can't we have embedded fonts in the device? Reliance has already done it for
their low cost LG/Samsung phones, so I do see feasibility here in
localization.

Sunil
