In less than 20 years from then, the number of mobile phone subscribers is over 42million. In the diffusion rate, it’s 87.7%.

->Please check if this sentence is awkward. I really don't know how to write the second sentence. 'in the diffusion rate' part.

Hi,

In less than 20 years from then, the number of mobile phone subscribers is over 42million. In the diffusion rate, it’s 87.7%.

->Please check if this sentence is awkward. I really don't know how to write the second sentence. 'in the diffusion rate' part.

I'd say In less than 20 years, the number of mobile-phone subscribers has grown to more than 42 million. The diffusion rate is 87.7%.

Best wishes, Clive
