Where do you see mobile phones growing in Asia? Not in these places. Hong Kong has the highest mobile phone penetration rate in Asia, and is there is hardly any room for growth, says a survey by Nielsen Media Research. There are about 5 million mobile phones in Hong Kong which has a population of 6.9 million. That’s about 95 percent of those aged 15-59, the survey said. That compares with 93% in South Korea, 89% in Singapore and 87% in Australia. That’s one side of the story. The countries that hold potential include China, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia and India with a penetration rates at or below 50%.
