90 Million Mobile Subscribers At End Of Q3 – 2008
Pakistan market reached the 90 million milestone at the end of September 2008. A review of mobile subscriber (SIM) numbers from January to September of 2008 shows some interesting trends. Telenor added over 3.8 million new SIMs. Zong added 3.2 million. Mobilink scored some gains but then lost subscribers …. it still maintains a market leading 35% share. Zong continued showing strong momentum and crossed the 5 million mark. Overall the market gained 12 million SIMs in 9 months of 2008. My projection is that the full year gain will be near 14 million.
