In Canada we have just over 23 million mobile phone subscribers. Globally in 2009 the number of people with a mobile subscription reach a massive 4.6 billion and it’s only going to increase according to the International Telecommunication Union. They state by the end of 2010 subscriptions will reach 5 billion.
