When "85.7% of the population [of India] was living on less than $2.50 (PPP) a day in 2005" is it really that surprising that they are only at 2.8% penetration?

I guess I'm just trying to point out that the 2.8% really isn't that bad when you consider how many people are living below the poverty line.
Once internet access via cellphone becomes affordable to the masses like voice is, expect this number to explode.
