AngularJS - Are Service object instances global or local?

Ref:- http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/891718/AngularJS-Interview-Questions-and-Answers#Whatarecontrollersandneedofng-controllerandng-modelinAngular

Angular Services create and inject global instances. For example below is a simple “HitCounter” class which has a “Hit” function and this function increments the variable count internally every time you call hit the button.

function HitCounter()
{
       var i = 0;
        this.Hit = function ()
        {
            i++;
            alert(i);
        };
}

This “HitCounter” class object is injected in “MyClass” class as shown in the below code.

function MyClass($scope, HitCounter)
{
 $scope.HitCounter = HitCounter;
}

Below code advises the Angular framework to inject “HitCounter” class instance in the “MyClass” class. Read the last line of the below code specially which says to inject the inject the “HitCounter” instance.

var app = angular.module("myApp", []); // creating a APP
app.controller("MyClass", MyClass); // Registering the VM
app.service("HitCounter", HitCounter); // Injects the object

Now let’s say that the “Controller” “MyClass” is attached to twodiv tag’s as shown in the below figure.
So two instances of “MyClass” will be created. When the first instance of “MyClass” is created a “HitCounter” object instance is created and injected in to “MyClass” first instance.
When the second instance of “MyClass” is created the same “HitCounter” object instance is injected in to second instance of “MyClass”.
Again I repeat the same instance is injected in to the second instance, new instances are not created.

If you execute the above code you will see counter values getting incremented even if you are coming through different controller instances.
