Never ending queues at the telecomm outlets

It’s been almost two months since I planned on downgrading my mobile phone plan but I’ve still not gotten down to doing it. I’ve meant to on a number of occasions, but the crowd at my service provider’s, SingTel, outlets scare me. The crowd outside is reminiscent of the queues for bread in the cold winter of February 1917 in St. Petersburg, except that it remains constant all year round, never seeming to shrink. Most of them are subscribing to a new line. In a country of five million, and each individual is estimated to have an average of 1.5 mobile phones, it astonishes me how much the telecommunications industry can keep growing, and the endless amount of customers they pull in each day.
