Netbooks have struggled to take off in India, despite the population. It's estimated that this year will see 300,000 netbooks sold compared to last year's 40,000, which is an improvement but, based on the population, of around one billion, Liliputing describe this number as being "peanuts". To change this trend, India will be the next country to bundle netbooks with 3G data plans. Asus and Dell are currently working with wireless carriers to make this possible in India.
Over the course of the contract, the netbook can end up costing more than buying it up front but, you also get the data usage and some consider it a way to pay for netbooks in instalments.
