Many of our clients have asked what are the next countries and when are we planning to launch the service there. Well, we have been preparing some countries for some time already.
During this summer Fortumo is expanding to several countries in different continents. In the 1st phase we decided to open our service in China. Why China? Big market, hundreds of millions end-users, one of the fastest growing market may be some of the reasons.
Did you know that:
* there are 1.3 billion people living in China
* China has the biggest Internet user’s community in the world, they have 228.5 million Internet users (2008 first 6 months report)
* China’s mobile penetration was 34% in 2007
* in 2006 mobile phone users sent 429 billion text messages (on average 967 text messages per user)
Stay tuned new countries are coming soon.
