Terrestrial mobile network infrastructures
It was decided to collect information on the coverage rate of mobile networks in order to ascertain the extent of the terrestrial mobile network infrastructure. The coverage rate can be expressed in relation to two different bases. Geographic coverage rate is the ratio of the area served by a network and the total surface area of a country or a given region (Table IM1A). The population coverage rate is the ratio of the population served by a network to the total population of a country or a given region (Table IM1B).
All data in this chapter is fully available under the ‘Facts and figures’ section below. A new layout for the telecommunications statistics pages is currently being prepared.
