China cell phone users top 120 million, rivaling U.S.
BEIJING (Reuters) - China's telecoms regulator said on Tuesday there were 120.6 million mobile phone subscribers in China at the end of July, rivalling the United States as the world market leader.

The mobile phone market attracted about 3.8 million new subscribers in July, according to the Ministry of Information Industry, which appears to push China into the position of the biggest mobile phone market in the world.

According to the U.S. Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association Web site, there are 120.1 million cellular phone users in the United States -- about 500,000 less than in China.

``Mobile phone users have grown faster than fixed-line users in China, by a long shot `` said the MII spokesman.

The number of fixed-line subscribers in China grew by about 2.4 million during July to reach 166.8 million, he said.
