Steady but uneven progress in global Internet connectivity is leaving people in low-income countries behind, according to the International Telecommunication Union’s (ITU). Fixed-broadband services accounted for over 80% of global Internet traffic in 2022, revealing the global connectivity disparity between high- and low-income countries.
Steady but uneven progress in global Internet connectivity highlights the disparities of the digital divide and is leaving people in low-income countries behind, according to the International Telecommunication Union’s ( ITU )Analysis on Internet data usage, featured for the first time in ITU ’s annual connectivity report, shows that fixed-broadband services accounted for over 80 per cent of global Internet traffic in 2022.
The volume of Internet traffic across fixed-broadband networks, which remain common in office and home settings, far exceeds that of mobile-broadband networks. But the dominance of the fixed networks underscores the global connectivity disparity between high- and low-income countries, with only one fixed-broadband subscription per 100 people in low-income countries due to high prices and a lack of infrastructure. “The further and faster technology advances, the more urgent our mission to connect everyone becomes,” says Doreen Bogdan-Martin, ITU secretary-genera
