Yes, you read the title correctly. China Mobile has just surpassed over 600 million subscribers.
Let’s put this into perspective. The Australian population is close to 20.5 million people. That means China Mobile’s number of subscribers is almost 30 times the entire Australian population. In April 2007, China Mobile proudly announced to the world that they had more subscribers then the United States of America. Now, only 15 months later, they have close to doubled that figure.
China Mobile claims to have added a cool 53.5 million new users from Jan to June 2008. These figures are just mind blowing when you consider that it won’t be long till China Mobile announce they have toppled the 1 billion mark. Next stop for China Mobile? Take over the world…
Eat your heart out Telstra!
