Best news so far this month
Within a matter of months, a majority of the world's population will be cellphone users.
According to the International Telecommunication Union, a U.N. agency, "At current growth rates, global mobile penetration is expected to reach 50% by early 2008."
This would amount to over 3.3 billion subscriptions.
You could look it up.
Clearly the game is over and the cellphone has won, defeating the PC and now astride the world as the virtual platform of the early 21st century.
Lift-off for global consciousness is now locked in and the countdown has commenced.
Let's get on with it.

How many of those cell phone subscriptions are active and how many of them are multiple subscriptions for the one person? I know I have 5 cell phone accounts in my name, one for work, one personal, one for my wife and two for whenever friends visit this distant backwater (Australia). I think I may still have an active one back home in the UK that I'll use when I go back on holiday and the one I setup when on holiday in NZ is still active too (none of these countries recycle inactive numbers/accounts as far as I'm aware, unlike the US). And contrary to rumours, I'm not that unusual (well, in this respect at least).
