economic growth post the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s.
Gross national income per capita has risen steadily resulting in
a quickly emerging middle-class in the fourth most populous
country in the world. The country has made enormous gains in
poverty reduction, having reduced the poverty rate by more than
half since 1999.

Increasing pressure from competitors in the market coupled with
market maturity has prompted the growth of VAS as an important
revenue source for mobile telecommunications players.
