This survey is too old..

Ths survey is on 2002, merely a decade ago, I dont think it is still valid for 2011. AS we know that cell phone and tech driven product has short time of Product life cycle so does its user.
Need new survey.

China has way more mobile phones than just 16% of its population, many of these figures are completely wrong and putting a lot of people who look for this kind of info off. China has 1,3 B people and over 900 mobile phone users, go do the math.

My advice: delete this graph and publish it once you got the numbers right. Publishing faulty info can have big consequences for people who copy this info and input it into their own research.

Malaysia is at 85.1 % and Indonesia is at 37 %

This whole chart is wrong.

Teledensity of Maldives is the highest. Which is 174.82 per 100. 80% of this is under Giant telecom operator Dhiraagu (Cable and wireless).

This statistics is so outdated. Vietnam now has more mobile phones than its population.

These are definitely old stats. As you can see, the comments are made, as early as 2005/2004.

I guess the top two are over 100 because some people has more than one. Some Hong Kong people have also more than one. I do not know why they need in young generation.

How can this stat be correct? 106.45 per 100 people - is this saying 106 out of 100 people?

And i think you should add a graph to show how many mobile phones are used in the several continents.
Hakan

When will this be updated? The data belongs to 2002.
Rachel

There should be a statistic for how many people own celluar phones for business rather than personal use.

Are there any graphs for the growth in mobile phone use?

10th March 2005
Mobile phones are becoming the most important communication tool in the world. There are now more mobile phones than computers, and the number is expected to reach 2 billion world wide by the year 2006. The number of mobile phones in the developed world is increasing, with many countries expected to surpass the 100 percent penetration rate. This is because some people will have more than one mobile phone - one for work and one for home, or perhaps a mobile and a mobile data card to connect their computer to the Internet.


The bottom of the list is dominated by tiny nations in the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea, and many countries in Africa. Although developing countries are at the bottom of the list, they are also seeing an increase in mobile phone usage. A recent study commissioned by Vodafone (PDF) indicates that mobile phone use in Africa is growing faster than anywhere else in the World, and that 97% of people surveyed in Tanzania said they could access a mobile phone, while just 28% could access a land line phone. Asian countries have the highest mobile phone penetration of developing nations, helped by their proximity to Japan and South Korea and the fact that many mobile factories are located there. The telecommunications companies prefer mobile technology because there is less infrastructure to install, so in many cases citizens can afford mobiles when they can't afford (or get) land lines. Vodafone has also indicated it intends to drop mobile phone call rates to compete with landline businesses in a number of countries.
