Mobile phone users in China sent 429 billion text messages in 2006— nearly one thousand per user— according to Ofcom's "International Communications Report."

The agency also said that mobile phones accounted for 53% of total telecommunications industry revenue in 2006.

Worldwide revenue for the sector, including television, radio and telecommunications, totaled 873 billion pounds ($1,787 billion).

India added 150 million new mobile phone subscribers in 2006, which Ofcom noted was more than the UK total of 70 million mobile connections.

Mobile phone penetration in India is still relatively low, however, at only 14% of the population. [eMarketer]
