How this works and its limits
Profiles use open World Bank development indicators, each checked for a license that allows reuse, and link to our coverage data and the country's network codes where those are published. Every figure names its original source and year.
Figures are rounded and may trail the latest national releases by a year or two.

Reading a telecom market profile
A telecom market profile puts a country's basic figures side by side: population, mobile subscriptions, the share of people who use the internet, and how common fixed broadband and fixed telephone lines are. Read together, they show how mobile-centric a market is and how much it can still grow.
Mobile subscriptions per 100 people often exceed 100, because many people carry more than one SIM and tablets, routers and machines have SIMs of their own. A high figure does not mean everyone is connected; the share of people using the internet is the better measure of reach.
Fixed broadband and fixed telephone subscriptions per 100 people show how much connectivity runs over fixed lines. Where they are low and mobile subscriptions are high, phones are the main way people get online, which affects both SMS-based verification and mobile data products.
Statistics from different sources are counted differently and published at different times. The profiles use the World Bank's World Development Indicators, which carry figures from the International Telecommunication Union and the United Nations, and show the year of each figure, which can trail the current year by one or two years.
Only indicators whose license allows reuse are published, and each profile links to our coverage data and the country's network codes where those are published. For a decision about a specific market, use the figures as context and confirm the details for your traffic in a quote.
Counts of people and subscriptions measure the size of a market, while figures per 100 people and percentages make countries of different sizes comparable. A smaller market with high internet use can matter more for a digital service than a larger one with low use, and fixed telephone figures that fall year after year usually mean that voice and messaging have moved to mobile.
