While India dialled into the Internet in 1995 through Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL), it saw its first .com domain name - Rediff.com - go live in 1996. Today, with 81 million Internet users, India ranks fourth in the world among total number of Internet users. By 2013, India is predicted to have the third-largest number of Internet users.
