Telecom New Zealand and Vodafone will continue to keep the New Zealand on top in OECD list of "Most costliest country for Mobile communication".

New Zealand will be soon achieveing “natural saturation,” signifying that every New Zealander who could be using a mobile phone is already using one,.

johnr: I think some people need to go and see China for over 1 billion people there are only two main mobile providers China mobile and China unicom who run GSM and a CDMA network.

But the market there is not even close to reaching 90% saturation yet. Here it is. Any new entrant would have to battle two companies with very balanced shares in the local market. Not easy...
