Mobile services were first offered in 1990 and, despite high costs, grew rapidly. Subscriber numbers increased from less than 100,000 in 1996 to 3.3 million by end-2003; since then the subscriber base has surged, reaching 92 million by March 2009. Penetration had moved to the 54% mark, but judging by the commercial activity in the market there was still room for expansion.
