I thought this article in the Sydney Morning Herald this morning was interesting. Not so much the broadband usage, but the mobile phone use. Apparently 887 in 1,000 people in Australia use a mobile phone. In fact, I just got given one of these babies by my company – it’s awesome, I must say.
But the really interesting point is that in Britain, 1,047 people in 1,000 use mobile phones – that’s more than one per person, on average. Now, I can understand that some people may have more than one phone (maybe a work one and a personal one?) but on average people in Britain have more than one phone. That means, if I lived in Britain and only had one phone (or no phone!) then I’d be in the minority! Wow!
