China's mobile subscriptions

If you ever thought that India will beat the world in anything other than the world's highest gold consumption, like mobile phone subscriptions than please have a look at China.

According to a website which was quoting a China's Ministry of Information Industry website, at the end of the month of September the number of mobile phone subscription were 443.15 million. This was an increase of 5.68 million from a month earlier.

This is around 360 million more than the Indian mobile subscribers. Although there have been prediction that the Indian mobile telecom industry would outrun the performance of the Chinese industry but it seems to be a far-fetched prediction to me especially after looking at the figures above.
