India has a lot of people - 1.2 billion. Almost half (563,700,000) of these people subscribe to a mobile phone service. Here's the kicker! Just under 366,000,000 have access to proper sanitation. These numbers come from the United Nations. I mention this so you won't think that I am making them up. I find it interesting that in India, it is easier for almost 200 million people to subscribe to a mobile phone service than it is to get proper bathroom facilities, or, and I hope I'm wrong, having a phone, for some people, is more important than having a pot to piss in!
