re: Youth Mobile Penetration
Thanks for your comment, Kevin.
I am not aware of many relaiable sources for comparative statistics on youth use of mobile phones in developing countries. (I am sure that they are availble, I just don't have them.)
A first place that I would look would be the GSM Association. A few months ago the GSMA and NTT Docomo published a short study on children use of mobile phones in Japan, Korea,China, India and Mexico.

Last month Tino Kreutzer released his study on mobile phone use among low-income urban youth in South Africa.

If anyone has similar studies, please do feel free to send them along!
