In 2009 there are around 4 billion mobile subscribers worldwide, with some of the more mature markets having over 100% penetration.

So far this is holding true with both India and China reporting positive subscriber growth in late 2008. This report provides global subscriber statistics, together with regional breakdowns and forecasts of future growth. Detailed information on Prepaid and 3G can be found in separate reports.
