Global - Mobile - Subscriber Statistics - Document Details

The emerging markets are making their mark on the mobile sector, with many of the less mature regions around the world showing significant growth and operators around the world are certainly taking note. This has assisted in the number of subscribers worldwide continuing to grow, despite saturated developed markets. Many emerging markets, such as Asia Pacific still have room for more growth ahead. By the end of 2008 there should be almost 4 billion mobile subscribers worldwide, with some of the more mature markets having over 100% penetration. This report provides global subscriber statistics, together with regional breakdowns and forecasts of future growth. Information on Prepaid can be found in a separate report.
