State-owned Mahanagar Telephone Nigam (MTNL) has added 32,932 new users during the month of August, boosting its total base to 52.90 lakh at the end of August, 2011.
The slowdown in the telecom sector continued last month, with Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) operators adding just about 5.33 million subscribers in August, compared to 7.65 million in the earlier month.
MTNL was set up by the Government of India to upgrade the quality of telecom services, expand the telecom network, and introduce new services and to raise revenue for telecom development needs of India's key metros -- Delhi and Mumbai.
