  • Abstract
    Seventy-five percent of India´s population is in rural villages, yet almost 90 percent of the country´s phones are in urban sites. The authors propose a fixed cellular radio system, combined with the existing mobile network, as a cost effective way to extend telecommunications services to India´s rural areas.<>
