                                        June 2007     June 2008      Y/Y

 

    Germany                               7,021         11,732      67.1%

    Spain                                    7,207         12,640      75.4%

    France                                  5,616          7,958      41.7%

    Italy                                    14,462         18,008      24.5%

    United Kingdom                     8,964         13,100      46.1%

    European Total (5 countries) 43,270         63,437      46.6%

    United States                       35,651         64,207      80.1%

 

I think the numbers might be slightly off than actuals. At the end of last quarter, US was over 30% with 3G and it has been going toe-to-toe with WE (except Italy) in 3G penetration for a number of quarters, but useful numbers for reference anyway.
