There are now more active mobile-phone users than landline telephone users in Sweden. According to Mobile Commerce World., including prepaid cards, the total number of mobile phone subscriptions now stands at 6.4 million, an increase of 24 per cent over the last year, says Mobile Commerce World.
Meanwhile, the number of fixed-lines operating in Sweden number 5.8 million, according to Statistics Sweden (SCB) and the Swedish Institute for Transport and Communications Analysis (Sika).
The 600,000 difference in subscription numbers is accentuated by the fact that the number of fixed-line subscriptions has shrunk by three per cent in the same period.
