According to ITU's (International Telecommunications Union) recently released announcement, by the end of 2007 there were 3.3 billion mobile phone subscribers worldwide, which means 49% percent of Earth's population. Of course this doesn't mean that every second man on the world has a cell phone, as usually business clients have both a private and a business phone number. The greatest development is in Africa, where in between 2005 and 2007 the number of subscribers has increased by 39%. In Asia in the same period the growth was 28%. India announced 154, China 143 million new subscribers during the past two years. The number of landline subscriptions decreases continuously, as for example in Africa only 10% of all subscribers are using landlines. The number of landline subscribers has increased by 1% worldwide. In many cases the new landline subscriptions are connected with the continuously growing number of Internet subscriptions.
The change in mobile phone subscriptions between 2005 and 2007, divided in regions.
