The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has released 2016’s facts and figures on technology adoption across the world.<\/p>\n

Among the more impressive statistics is the fact that mobile data is now considerably cheaper<\/strong> than fixed broadband.<\/p>\n

Specifically in the world’s least developed countries, fixed broadband can cost up to three times mobile rates<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“The average price of a basic fixed-broadband plan is more than twice as high as the average price of a comparable mobile broadband plan.\u201d<\/p>\n

“In the world’s least developed nations, fixed services cost three times more than mobile services.”<\/p>\n

This could be due to another major finding by the ITU, 95% of mobile users<\/strong> can now get at least one bar of coverage across the globe.<\/p>\n
