Comment Re:1 Billion Mobile Users? (Score 1) 83
When I worked for a mobile app startup, we saw major usage spikes in Indonesia, India and the Middle East, as well as some African countries. They required data. Part of this is that they pretty much skipped the whole landline thing for the majority of the populations, so they could jump ahead on the technology curve.
I would not be surprised to see the 80% figure being true, even with the income difference.
