On the news today (the newspaper is Tiempo Argentino, sorry about the unreadable photo):

   <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ralsina/4908329105/" title="Foto0012.jpg by ralsina_2000, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4100/4908329105_74a1550914.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="Foto0012.jpg" /></a>

It says "In Spain it amounts to less than 340 thousand customers a month, or 0.006% of the total".

This is talking about cellphone users. Now, how many cell phone users are there in Spain?

According to this newspaper, 340000 are 0.006% of the total, so... 5 666 666 667 (aprox.), therefore, Spain has roughly one cell phone for each man, woman and child in the world.
