6 billion mobile lines for 7 billion people

According to ABI Research, there would be 6 billion subscribers to mobile phones on the planet with 7 billion people.

With 6 billion mobile lines at the end of 2011, there will be nearly as mobile as people on the planet, or 0.85 per line. Obviously, it is only an average, since the lines are not shared equitably around the world.

According to ABI Research, with 3 billion rows, the Asia Pacific region is one that has the most mobile. A figure almost without surprise with regard to the spectacular development of countries such as South Korea or China, which has also just over 1.36 billion people. This area has seen subscriptions to mobile lines exploded in the last two years.
