220 Billion SMS in China

As if you needed convincing that the Chinese mobile sector was big, Textually reports that this year 220 Billion SMS’s will be sent by its 315 million mobile phone users.

If my maths is right, that’s 700 SMS’s a year each.

That’s a rather mind buggering number.

The picture, by the way, shows the legendary late comedian, Tommy Cooper. He used to say:

Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. And there are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them.

It’s either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother Colin. Or my younger brother Ho-Cha-Chu.

But I think it’s Colin.
