A cell phone for under Rs 1000? If India's telecommunications minister Dayanidhi Maran has his way, you will be able to buy a sub-$20 phone in early 2007.
Not suprisingly, it will be a no-frills mobile phone with just voice and messaging features. Manufacturers have the option of adding features such as camera, MP3 player, radio etc -- for a higher price tag of course.
The reason for the phone's low cost? It will have just a single chip instead of the multiple chips embedded on a PCB (printed circuit board) that is the staple of the mobile phone you hold in your hand.
