There were 1.37 billion phone users in the country by the end of September, said Zhang Feng, director of telecommunication development department at the ministry.
The number of Internet broadband users rose 20.57 million to 550 million in the first three quarters. The Internet penetration rate reached 41.1 percent at the end of September, Zhang said.
