Low entry barriers and low tariffs offered by FWP operators proved to be the incentives. India is closely followed by Brazil and Mexico. Indonesia and Thailand are the other countries where FWPs are currently in use. While LG is the sole supplier of FWPs and FWTs to Reliance Infocomm, Tata Teleservices sources 80 per cent of its equipment needs from LG. India added 3.5 million FWP instruments in 2005. Besides LG, Asestel, Hyundai and Huawei are the other telecom equipment providers supplying instruments to the country.
