*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%.
