If the US has "low" mobile penetration, I'd hate to see "high" penetration. I only know one or two people over the age of 15 who don't have cell phones. Everyone you see has a cell phone glued to his ear. I think that high "penetration" in many countries must be due to people keeping 6 or 7 prepaid SIMs for travel, etc because they are cheap to keep active. In the US most prepaids do "clock out" after a few months because the carriers have to pay a monthly government fee for each active line.
