China mobiles outstrip landlines
The BBC writes that China now has more mobile phones than it has landlines, a fact previously reported by China's offical news agency in November. But of note in this article, the claim that worldwide, the number of mobile users already outstripped the number of fixed lines in 2002. "The shifting balance was largely driven by the popularity of mobiles in developing countries whose landline infrastructure has been held back, often by corrupt or inefficient monopolies". |
