In Afghanistan, cellphone use rising
About 150,000 people subscribe to cellphone service each month in Afghanistan and there's "no end in sight" to the growth, the country's communications minister said Tuesday, reports USA Today.
"... Like in other developing nations, cellphone service providers have been doing brisk business, bringing communication to poor villagers who until four years rarely, if ever, used a telephone.
So far, 12% of Afghanistan's 25 million people have cellphones. Coverage is generally available in all the country's 34 provinces."
