Mobile cellular has been the most rapidly adopted technology in history. Today it is the most popular and widespread personal technology on the planet, with an estimated 4.6 billion subscriptions globally by the end of 2009
Mobile broadband subscriptions overtook fixed broadband subscribers in 2008, highlighting the huge potential for the mobile Internet In 2009, more than a quarter of the world’s population are using the Internet

The US accounts for 82.6% of mobile broadband in the Americas. In Asia and the Pacific, Japan and the Republic of Korea account for 70%

* Sweden was chosen as a benchmark as it ranked first in ITU’s ICT Development Index.
In 2008, mobile phone penetration in developing countries had reached that of Sweden under ten years earlier; for infant mortality, the rate in developing countries in 2007 was at the level where Sweden was 72 years earlier Even the country furthest behind (Myanmar) in terms of mobile cellular penetration is where Sweden was just 24 years earlier. By comparison, the GDP lag for most of the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), compared to Sweden, is over 160 years

Over the past 5 years, the total number of fixed broadband subscribers has grown more than threefold, from about 150 million in 2004, to almost 500 million by the end of 2009 In Africa, there is only one fixed broadband subscriber for every 1’000 people, while in Europe there are 200 subscribers for 1’000 people In 2008, China overtook the US as the largest fixed broadband market in the world. At the end of 2008, China’s fixed broadband penetration was 6.2 subscribers per 100 inhabitants, the highest of any low or lower-middle-income economy in Asia and the Pacific

It is composed of three sub-baskets: fixed telephone, mobile cellular and fixed broadband Internet tariffs. The ICT Price Basket is computed as the sum of these three tariffs, as a percentage of monthly Gross National Income per capita.
The price for fixed broadband access remains prohibitively high in most developing countries, effectively limiting access to the Information Society
