Ah, the world factbook! I love the way our system is referred to as technologically advanced! I guess we should be grateful really. Would be nice if they updated the statistics.

Its the bit about more mobile users than Fixed line

Have you also read the bit about America, Its a joke mentioning WW1 and WW2 as personal victorys and the Leading super power of the world

Indeed - and unless I'm very much mistaken we now have more mobile phones than people :)

Ah, bit of trumpet blowing, I guess they're allowed it for maintaining the factbook :\
