3.3 billion cellular network subscribers

Not so long ago, employees of an organization called the International Telecommunications Union (International Telecommunications Union) together sat down at the calculators and counted about 2.7 billion subscribers of cellular networks around the world. However, according to other accountants, this time from the company Informa, the calculations of colleagues turned out to be incorrect.

If you believe the statistics compiled by experts Informa, then on our planet there are about 3.3 billion subscribers to the services of cellular networks. The figure is rather big, especially considering that it is almost half of the population of the entire Earth. However, this does not mean that every second earthling owns a cell phone: just some subscribers have several numbers at once.

By the way, such an impressive number of mobile accounts has reached exactly the 26th anniversary since the launch of the world's first NMT cellular network.
