3G to Reach 36% of China's Subscribers by 2016

According to ABI Research’s latest release of its “Mobile Subscriber Market Data” series of databases, the mobile industry concluded 2010 with 5.5 billion subscriptions. The Asia-Pacific region accounted for a whopping 53% (2.9 billion) of the total. One-third of this can be attributed to India’s huge 2G market; another one-third to China.

As of December 2010, China had 860 million subscribers, although 3G subscriptions accounted for fewer than 50 million, or roughly 5.5%.
