Fun fact: U.S. mobile carriers Verizon (NYSE: VZ) and AT&T (NYSE: T) pale in comparison size-wise when looking at the largest mobile providers globally.
As a matter of fact, they don't even crack the top ten.
With somewhere near 600.84 million subscribers, China Mobile (NYSE: CHL) is the obvious world leader. Second is SingTel of Singapore, with 382.81 million. U.K.'s Vodafone (NYSE: VOD) is third at 341.1 million.
Russia's VimpelCom (NYSE: VIP) is ninth at 181 million.
Verizon? 19th at 104 million. AT&T is next at 97.5 million.
The pending merger of AT&T and T-Mobile would put AT&T into the fifth spot, ahead of Mexico's America Movil (NYSE: AMX), making the case for Sprint (NYSE: S), et al, to have concerns against the merger.
