How this measure is built

Definition
Share of the region's population living within range of a 4G/LTE mobile network signal.
Measure
One slice of Network population coverage ( form: share, segment: 4g ) . Percentage of the population living within range of a mobile network signal. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
Limitations
1 figure is a projection, drawn dashed and labelled in the table. Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
Verification
Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its source evidence before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
