*Mobile users now make up more than 90% of all telephone subscribers
across Africa, a higher percentage than on any other continent.

*Despite the global downturn, Latin America’s mobile market will
probably continue to grow in 2009 albeit at a slower rate. Once the
economy recovers, mobile telephony may regain momentum for a couple of
years and then gradually slacken as countries reach mobile market
saturation.

*Average mobile penetration across Europe reached about 125% by the
beginning of 2009 while sustaining subscriber growth of about 8%.
Mobile use is so ingrained among consumers that by early 2009 about a
quarter of households across the EU27 had ceased using ordinary
fixed-line connections in favour of mobile phones and voice over IP
services.
