Telecom connections in the country were expected to reach 250 million by next year, Union Communication and IT Minister Dayanidhi Maran said today. | |
| This included mobile, landline and broadband connections, he told reporters on the sidelines of a function organised to inaugurate Telecordia, India's state-of-the-art laboratory here. |

| The Centre had fixed a target of 500 million connections by 2010. Maran said Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi had recently promised that the state would soon set up an IT taskforce, with captains of IT industry as members, to discuss the industry's problems. |
