Pardon my lack of understanding but how can *anything* be 120.2%? You can't have more than 100% which means totally covered can you or can you?
[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: I am one person, but I have two cell phones (one that I only rarely if ever use.) Would having those two cell phones mean that I was 200 percent covered on cell phones? I think what the article meant to say was there are now 120.2 cell phones for every hundred inhabitants, which would get the 120.2 % they have. PAT]
