How this measure is built
- Definition
- Number of active mobile-cellular subscriptions per 100 inhabitants in the region.
- Measure
- One slice of Mobile-cellular subscriptions ( basis: per capita, form: level ) . Total count of active mobile-cellular telephone subscriptions. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations
- Publishers release on different schedules, so the latest period differs by region; compare regions on the same period. 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.
