Corporate or Government paid phone, for business and local calls, and another personal phone for long distant calls and calls to your friends who now work at competitors. This may account for maybe 500,000. Maybe 20k phones tied to cars, limos for the use of passengers. Depends on how many cars in HK with phones. Add in a few for Fax lines in vehicles. Maybe another 10-20 k for people from Taiwan, and South Korea who need an HK number. The big nasty reasons are illegal transactions and girlfriends/boyfriends. But that's still about 1.3 million phones. There are what ? 3 million married people in HK .... that's more bed hopping than Spring break in Cancun.

TJ, I am obviously not up with the play on things. That's what Tarken-san said too: <lots of folks have two or even three plain vanila cellphone subscriptions for a whole lot of very few reasons, such as keeping girl friends and mistresses clearly filed> Apparently one would have a couple of sims, so that one can text said various female acquaintances without overlap. And presumably said females have multiple such devices too. In any event, I am delighted to see [that's the first time I have seen it] a country [albeit only a city of a country since amalgamation with China] exceed 100% subscribers, which I have long thought would happen. People will increasingly have multiple devices. A jogging cyberphone, an internet link, a Globalstar link, a notebook link [with multimode of course - wifi, ofdm [QCOM version], CDMA2000, W-CDMA, Globalstar], a swanky socialite phone [with diamonds and gold, designed as body-wear].

Using former Sony-owned American Video Glass plant to make ethanol. de-industrialization is here: We are going back to our roots and be again agribusinessmen! In the same Hempfield factory where workers once melted sand into glass used in bulky cathode ray tube televisions, they will now melt corn into fuel to manufacture eco-friendly ethanol. post-gazette.com
