Sweden has more cellphone lines than people

Sweden flag

Somebody over there must be double dipping because Sweden officially now has more cellphone lines than people. As of this past March the country officially had 9.07 million cellphone subscriptions and only 8.98 million people, giving them a better than perfect penetration rate of 100.1% (embarrassingly, the US only just recently passed the 50% mark, though it also means we'll get 50.1% less brain cancer than them). The reason for the better than perfect score? The Swedes odd habit of owning one cellphone for work and another for non-work, whatever that is.
