The world's biggest mobile phone market just got bigger. China's cell-phone market is the largest in the world, and has just topped 400 million subscribers.

That's an increase of nearly 50 million subscribers from the end of 2004. China adds nearly 5 million new cellphone subscribers each month. China imported its first mobile phone telecom facilities in 1987 with a capacity of just 700 users. It took the country two decades to build the world's largest cellphone-users group.
