NEW DELHI, Jan 21 (Reuters) - India added a record 10.81 million wireless subscribers in December, with the total mobile user base rising 48.5 percent in 2008 to 346.9 million, data from the telecoms regulator showed on Wednesday. Mobile operators in India, the world's fastest-growing mobile market, have been adding more than 10 million new users a month, with cheap call rates, low-cost handsets and network expansion fuelling the boom.
