Mobile subscriptions exceed 5 billion

[rpm]

Mobile subscriptions hit 5 billion mark

• 2 million additions per day
• More than 500 million 3G subscriptions
• 50 billion connected devices by 2020

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

50 billion by 2020, when the earths population would only be between 10-15 billion? Even taking into account M2M connections, I don't see that being entirely true.

I the chance of earths population being 15billion in 10yrs is unlikely, but the chance of 50 billion connected devices seems to be very conservative.
