It may not have a population larger than a billion of people like India or China, but Brazil keeps growing like crazy nevertheless. At the end of 2007, 121 million Brazilians owned a mobile phone, 21.1 million or 21% more from 2006.
According to the country’s telecommunications regulator Anatel, net additions in December were a record 4.7 million, reflecting intense promotional activity in the pre-Christmas period.
Brazil’s main operator, Vivo Participacoes — which is jointly owned by Spain’s Telefonica and Portugal Telecom — ended the year with 27.7% of the local market, while Telecom Italia’s TIM Participacoes and Mexico’s America Movil owned Claro held 25.8% and 25% of the market respectively.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
