Light Reading India Debuts

NEW DELHI, June 2, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    Light Reading India (http://www.lightreading.in/), a new online community
targeted at the fast-growing India telecom marketplace, launched with a
mission to help the country's telecom community achieve its aim of developing
India's broadband sector.

    Light Reading India launches at a critical point in the development of
India's communications services sector. Having already added more than 420
million new mobile lines between them during the past two years, the
country's network operators, armed with new spectrum, are set to unleash a
wireless broadband revolution. It's a revolution that's needed: India has
more 1.2 billion people but only about 12 million fixed broadband connections
and just 10 million 3G users.

    "This is a perfect time to launch an online community that can deliver
real value to India's telecom community," says Gagandeep Kaur, the editor of
Light Reading India who will lead a new team of reporters based in New Delhi
and Mumbai.

    "Not only does the market here need to know about the local developments
that are impacting their working lives, but it needs insight into the
developments from other markets around the world that can help shape the
future of India's broadband market. With its global team of in-house analysts
from Heavy Reading and Pyramid Research, a partnership with Indian research
house Tonse Telecom, and input from the Light Reading Communications
Network's team of international editors, Light Reading India is uniquely
positioned to provide an unrivalled perspective," adds Kaur.

    "Light Reading India is part of our strategy to continue to invest and
grow Light Reading in the markets that matter the most," said Joseph Braue,
EVP and Group Director of the Light Reading Communications Network. "Light
Reading India joins Light Reading Europe and Light Reading Asia as our global
communities, along with Light Reading Mobile and Light Reading Cable, which
focus on specific service provider technology markets."

    In addition to offering advertising partners the opportunity to reach its
17,000 registered site goers through banners, whitepaper syndication,
newsletters, webinars and custom events, Light Reading India will offer video
documentaries via its high-quality LRTV video production unit. For
