South Korea: Mobile phone users top 40 million

The number of mobile phone subscribers in Korea topped 40 million at the end of last week, industry officials said yesterday, according to The Korea Herald.

" This means 82 out of every 100 Koreans now have a mobile phone connection nearly two decades after analog cellular services were first introduced into the market.

... Around 30 countries, including many in Europe such as Ireland, Sweden, the United Kingdom and Italy, are now known to have a penetration rate of over 100 percent while many other developed countries have stabilized at around 80-85 percent."
