Sandeep GirotraTelecom network vendor Nokia has shared the MBiT Index study that reveals mobile broadband performance in India.

The report says 3G traffic grew 85 percent in 2015, following investment by telecom operators in 3G networks and availability of cost-effective smartphones.

Nokia says the monthly 3G data usage per user crossed 750 MB outpacing 2G traffic for the first time across all telecom circles in India.
