In Japan. More Mobile Phones than Fixed
The number of mobile phone subscribers has exceeded that of conventional
fixed-line telephones in Japan for the first time, the government
announced.
The Posts and Telecommunications Ministry said the number of
subscriptions for mobile phones -- cellular phones and so-called personal
handy-phones -- rose to 56.9 million at the end of March, up 20.3 percent
from 47.3 million a year earlier.
Fixed-line phone subscriptions totaled 55.5 million at the end of March,
the ministry said.
Ministry officials said mobile phones have attracted more consumers with
their reasonable cost, mobility and technology. More than 40 percent of
Japanese are now using portable phones.
Industry analysts predict further growth of mobile phone sales with the
addition of Internet capabilities.
