Da Economist:

According to Ross O?Brien of Pyramid Research, a telecoms consultancy that is part of the Economist Group, in 1990 there were fewer than 10m telephone lines in China. Today there are 125m lines, with more than 2m being laid every month. Mobile phones are multiplying even faster, from 5m mobile-phone users in 1995 to over 57m today (2000). More mobile handsets will be sold in China this year (2000) than in either the United States or Japan. ?Teledensity? in China, at just 11 fixed lines for every 100 people, is still low compared with developed countries (see chart). But there will probably be several more years of fast growth, making China the most attractive telecoms market in the world.
