It's certainly a fast-growing mobile phone market, which has it poised to become a very large market for mobile digital entertainment, and of course India has wonderful and successful cultural industries, especially in film. So, India does have potential. But my sense is that India is still an immature digital entertainment market compared with some of its East Asian neighbors--though you may be right about Taiwan and Hong Kong not offering as much as India in this regard (S. Korea I'm not so sure...). Besides the large numbers and market potential for digital entertainment, though, you just don't hear much about India at the cutting edge of emerging entertainment business models. That's not to say they aren't happening there, but they aren't getting as much attention if they are, at least in my experience. I'd love to hear some examples if you have any to set the record straight. I’m very interested in why you think India has such potential.

Well, India is another important place in this regard. I think the Indian market has more potential than Hong, Taiwan and even Korea in this regard. ” A combination of high copyright piracy levels and high-tech populations has led entertainment companies in places like China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea to embrace the internet and emerging digital and mobile technologies as they seek innovative new revenue sources.”
