So what accounts for HK's 2.5:1 connections:person ratio? Carrying multiple phones? Phone plus laptop/watch/ipad? Edit: or maybe multiple sims per phone

- kypro 7y agoWouldn't a mobile number, a home number and Skype number count? I wondered if perhaps some of these are also business numbers? Unless they were excluded?

- chirau 7y agoIn many countries people carry more than one phone/SIM card. Mostly for separation of concerns, i.e business and pleasure. Also for tariffs across providers. It isn't unusual to have one carrier better for data and another for voice/sms. Another significant factor is contacts. If your contacts are on one network and you are on another, there is enough motivation to get a second device as intra-network is cheaper than cross-network
