Phone penetration and annual growth.





The Economist has published OECD data for mobile phone penetration, which is measured as the number of subscribers per 100 inhabitants. As of 2003 much of Europe is around the 90% mark, with Luxembourg at 120%. "In Luxembourg, phones outnumber people, since many people who live in neighbouring countries have a second handset for use within its borders". Canada and the US show the lowest penetration rates.
