How this measure is built
- Definition
- Share of the region's population living within range of a 5G mobile network signal.
- Measure
- One slice of Network population coverage ( form: share, segment: 5g ) . Percentage of the population living within range of a mobile network signal. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations
- 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.
