More phone subscriptions than people in Europe
The title 'EU report: More mobile phones than citizens' is actually wrong, as I'm sure there are considerably more phones (used or not) than live subscriptions. As we are talking the latter it's more impressive, and in Luxemburg it's supposedly even 171% relative to the population.
Consider that also people that for obvious reasons don't have a mobile (either very young or very old) are included, so why do so many have more than one subscription? In transition between different operators? Because of separate private and work SIMs? I doubt that. The note doesn't provide the answer.
Sure, I have 5 phones and two SIMs, but I'm a geek.
