Look at the numbers from Airtel's latest quarter (excerpt from Medianama.com): Growth in Non-SMS VAS (Ringtones, CRBTs, GPRS, Voice Portal Services etc) has been as high as 20.7 percent in the last quarter, increasing to Rs. 133.56 crores Even if ringtones make up for 10% of these VAS revnues (highly low estimate), you are talking about about ~ 13 crores. Gaurav,

I could never justify paying for ringtones, especially when I can edit/make my own ring tones, at http://mp3mer.com for example. I also do this.
