At the end of June, a total of 57.7 million telephone subscribers had Internet subscription, although only 48.3 million were active subscribers.
This means that a total of 9.4 million Internet subscriptions were inactive.
At the end of May, the active mobile Internet subscription stood at 38.2 million. This means that within a period of one month (between May and June), 10.1 million active subscribers started using the Internet on their phones, a difference of 26.44 per cent.

The total subscription at the end of May, however, stood at 44.69 million. This translates to an inactive population of 6.49 million subscribers or a ratio of 14.52 per cent.

This should be in the phones section.

However, it's a great news that most people will now have access to infos. But the funny thing is that, most girls and few guys will only facebook, do BBM chat, 2go and will let the remaining bunch/chunk of massive data go with the wind on expiration.

They won't even download novels, read articles, news or better still download songs.
