China now has 358M mobile subscribers
Xi (Guohua, vice minister of information industry) also said the number of mobile phone subscribers had reached 358 million people, an area that was growing by about 60 million new users a year.
In the first five months of 2004, China also installed 44.7 million new fixed telephone lines, with a total of 692 million fixed lines now in place, Xi said.
This is quite astonishing, considering what it means to install so many phone lines. It also points to an interesting fact: That despite the lack of infrastructure before, fixed line subscriptions still grow faster than mobile ditto in China.
