7.1 Billion People, 7.1 Billion Mobile Phone Accounts Activated

[DEAD7]

"Tomi Ahonen's newly released 2014 Almanac reveals such current mobile phone industry data gems as: 'The mobile subscription rate is at or very very nearly at 100%. For 7.1 Billion people alive that means 7.1 Billion mobile phone subscriptions worldwide.' Compared with other tech industries, he says: 'Take every type of PC, including desktops, laptops, netbooks and tablet PCs and add them together. What do we have? 1.5 Billion in use worldwide. Mobile is nearly 5 times larger. Televisions? Sure. We are now at 2 Billion TV sets in use globally. But mobile has 3.5 times users.' Which mobile phone OS is the leader? ''Android has now utterly won the smartphone platform war with over 80% of new sales. Apple's iPhone has peaked and is in gradual decline at about 15% with the remnant few percent split among Windows, Blackberry and miscellaneous others.'"

What is the point of the article? Mobile phones offer a wide spectrum of technology. It isn't all smartphones.

That number is nowhere nearly believable. Post the actual amount of unique mobile phone users.

Would have been nice if you included this OP

Then lets talk about those numbers. 7.1 Billion mobile subscriptions is not 'unique users' and it is not 'handsets in use'. The number of unique users is now 4.5 Billion or 63% of all humans alive are actually users of mobile phones. The remaining 2.6 Billion accounts are second or third accounts for the same user. And many of us have two phones.

Even so, those numbers are astronomical. All of that microwave radiation HAS to be having a negative effect on human beings and other living beings.

It's non-ionizing radiation so it's a-ok.
