Mobile-phone penetration by The Economist

There is almost one mobile phone for every person in much of the developed world, according to new figures from the OECD. In Luxembourg, phones outnumber people, since many people who live in neighbouring countries have a second handset for use within its borders. Despite their enthusiasm for PCs and broadband links, Canada and the United States have been slower to adopt mobile phones than other rich countries.

The phone penetration is calcolated as the number of subscribers per 100 inhabitants and as you can see Italy is @ 3rd place !
