What the data shows
The unweighted country mean is 18.6 subscriptions per 100 people, compared with a median of 17.2 subscriptions per 100 people. Each reporting country has equal weight; this is not a population-weighted or regional aggregate. The gap between the two highest observed values is 3.7 subscriptions per 100 people. These comparisons describe the observations and do not establish causes.

Caveats
This is a selected-country comparison, not a global ranking. Missing countries may affect the distribution. A higher value does not necessarily imply a better outcome. Source observations may be revised.
Subscriptions are not unique users or households. This measure excludes mobile broadband and does not measure speed or affordability.
