India's Bharti to offer Google search on mobiles

As expected, Google is ready to capture everyone. Even the non Internet users, huh! After this announcement other rivals should be running there brains.

Bharti Airtel Ltd. (BRTI.BO: Quote, Profile, Research), India's top mobile services firm, said on Thursday it will offer Google Inc.'s (GOOG.O: Quote, Profile, Research) search facility for mobile phones.

Indian carriers are increasingly boosting their value-added services in a bid to offset a decline in voice tariffs due to intense competition in the world's fastest growing wireless services market.

Indian carriers added 6.7 million new users in October. At 136.22 million users, the mobile base is six times the number of people in India who have a desktop computer.
