Mobile Technology Weblog reports on a new survey -- two billion mobile telephone subscribers worldwide predicted by end of 2005:
The numbers just keep getting bigger. According to a recent study by Informa Telecoms and Media there will be more than 2 Billion subscribers to mobile telecommunications services by the end of this year. What makes this figure even more amazing is that in June estimates suggested that there were roughly 1.5 billion subscribers.
To put this meteoric growth in perspective the total new subscriber tally for 2004 was "only" 91 million new subscribers. In other words, there are now more new subscribers per month than there were all of last year!
Another prediction made by the study was that by the end of 2010 over 3 billion people will be subscribed to mobile telecommunications services. This is a penetration rate of nearly 43% of the total global population.
