strategies, contexts and studies in the field of telecommunications
In 2023, the volume of data downloaded by mobile subscribers continued to grow at a more moderate pace than in previous years (2023: +12.3%; 2022: +18.8%), while the number of subscriptions increased by 6.0% to a total of around 9.7 million. Unsurprisingly, in terms of the number of communications, mobile telephony is by far the largest category. Only 13.3% of calls are still made from a fixed phone. Moreover, the number of calls made in the traditional way is falling for both fixed and mobile communications.
With 4,152,752 subscribers, fixed internet remained stable compared with the previous year (-0.6%), with a reduction in copper lines (-6.9%) in favour of fibre optics (+8.9%) and therefore faster connections. Finally, the number of machine-to-machine (M2M) subscriptions continues to grow, rising from 3.1 million to more than 4.6 million between 2022 and 2023 (+47.6%), according to the final results of the telecommunications statistics.
