In the Netherlands, More cell phones than people

According to CNN Money, the number of cell phone subscribers surpassed the number of citizens in the Netherlands in the first quarter this year, a survey showed Tuesday.

"Mobile phone operators in the Netherlands added 356,000 net connections, lifting the total to 16.4 million customers at the end of March, or 100.4 percent of the population, Dutch research group Telecompaper said.

The survey counted the number of subscribers, measured by SIM cards that are put inside a mobile phone to connect it to a network, and did not measure how many individuals owned a handset."
