Dial Denmark for saturation
The country counted 5.47 million mobile phone subscriptions on December 31, the equivalent of 100.8 for every 100 inhabitants. By contrast, there are only 61.7 subscribers to fixed lines for every 100 inhabitants, the agency said.
The mobile market is dominated by Danish operator TDB and its low-cost Teller subsidiary, with a share of more than 40%, followed by Telia of Sweden with 21% and Sonofon of Norway with more than 19%.
With a market growing at 30% a year, the Danes also are avid users of broad-band Internet, said Joergen Abild Andersen, the director of the agency. About a quarter of the population has high-speed access.
The World Economic Forum in Geneva this week listed Denmark as third after the US and Singapore in openness to information and communication technologies.
