UK Population Approx 61 Million - Mobile Phone Subs Approx 76 Million.

The planned merger between Orange and T-Mobile would mean the merged entity would have more than 28 Million Subscribers and a Market Share of 37%.

These numbers mean that in round figures there are 76 Million Mobile Phone Subscribers in the United Kingdom.

So there is one Mobile Subscription for every Man, Woman and Child (including babies), with another 15 Million covering those with Multiple subscriptions, Regular visitors to the UK with a UK Subscription, Inactive Accounts, Illegal Immigrants and Criminal Usage.

Hmm..The numbers are interesting but without a proper breakdown, I cannot reach any sensible conclusion, but I am left with a sense of unease.
