Any stats on mobile broadband users, 3G and GPRS based internet users? This may be a considerable number and will continue to increase. <div><br></div><div>Increase in views for Indic language Wikipedias can also be due to non-resident citizens. </div>
<div><br></div><div>For languages like Bengali and Tamil present in more than one country, stats from respective countries can also throw some light. </div><div><br></div><div>Interesting to note the high percentage of rural users in Kerala and to compare it with Malayalam Wiki metrics.</div>

AFAIK, the urban numbers are across all ISPs and rural is BSNL only.<br>
<br>
Your point of Indic consumption in rural areas is interesting and<br>
anecdotally might hold true. Would anyone have insights in to this?<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
