Methodology for Technology indicators
Technology indicators (internet users, mobile subscriptions, broadband, ICT services) are reported by the ITU based on operator returns. Mobile subscription counts often exceed 100% because of multi-SIM behavior, particularly in markets where users have separate SIMs for work, personal, and data. Internet user figures rely on surveys and can lag actual adoption.
How to interpret
- Always check the unit and reporting year before comparing values across countries.
- NULL or "Not available" means the World Bank did not publish a value — we never estimate.
- Year-over-year changes can be driven by methodology updates, not just real economic shifts.
