China hits 1 Billion Mobile Phone Users

Yes. That’s 1/7 of all the people on the planet. 1 Billion of your potential customers are out there and trying to connect to your brand through their mobile phones.

The question is: have you missed the (mobile) boat?

Data released by the MIIT at the end of last year spoke for themselves. China reached 986 million mobile users in December, a number destined to grow exponentially.

And you? Where does your brand stand?
