Four billion mobile users by 2015
The number of mobile phone users worldwide will soar to four billion from the current 1.4 billion by 2015, according to the chief executive of Nokia.
Speaking at the 3GSM World Congress in Cannes, Jorma Ollila said that two billion people will have mobile phones by 2008, while half of the world's population will be signed up seven years later, Reuters reports.
"Mobile communication has the potential to give access to communications to half of the world's population by 2015. This will mean roughly four billion," he said.
He forecast most of the growth to come from emerging markets such as China, India, Brazil, Indonesia and Russia.
In developed countries wireless communications will surpass fixed-line communications in terms of the volume of voice call traffic, Mr Ollila added.
This is already the situation in Italy, Portugal and the Czech Republic where mobile phone penetration is high.
