hmmm... I am not sure these kind of statistics are easy to collect.
As an example, my two boys (8 and 12 years old) both have mobile
phones and many of their friends also. These mobile phones are
all registered under the name of their parents. Unless someone invests
a substantial effort to trace a large number of such users in order to
lead to statistically viable data, this effect will be missed. I doubt
very much anybody has made this effort.
Thus I would guess that published data might underestimate the use
of mobile phones by young kids.
