Five Billion Mobiles connected worldwide!

In 1987, when the first mobile phone companies launched here in the UK, industry insiders predicted just 10,000 phones. According to Wireless Intelligence, in 2010 the worldwide mobile phone connection figure has just breached 5 billion!



India and China has been the main source of recent growth, with the Asia-Pacific region accounting for 47% of global mobile connections at the end of June 2010.


In many regions, penetration exceeds 100%, where there is more than one connection per person in the country. In western Europe, mobile phone penetration has reached 130%, although these stats also include those phones that you have in the draw and haven’t used in months.


Five billion phones means there are more than three times as many phones as personal computers, which surely just further demonstrates the rise of mobile technology.
