Mobile broadband users will hit 4.4B by the end of 2018, says ITU
There are also now no less than 25 countries with mobile broadband subscription penetration (number per 100 habitants) over over 100 percent – meaning that on average, people own more than one device or more likely, more than one SIM – since ITU notes that between 2015 and today, mobile phone stock has actually decreased by 100 million to 2.1 billion. Indeed, in some countries, the multi-SIM use case has really taken hold. In Macao, China, there are just under 322 mobile broadband subscriptions per 100 people.
