 Definitions

A standard telephone access line is an analogue telephone line connecting the subscriber's terminal equipment to the public switched network and has a dedicated port in the telephone exchange equipment. Excludes ISDN subscribers.
The sum of "standard telephone access lines" and the total number of ISDN subscriptions (basic + primary). This is not the number of telecommunication channels.
The number of subscriptions to the basic rate interface of the Integrated Services Digital Network.
The number of subscriptions to the primary rate interface of the Integrated Services Digital Network.
Subscriptions to an automatic public mobile telephone service which provides access to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). Subscriptions to public mobile data services, private trunked mobile radio, telepoint or radio paging services should not
be included.
The number of mobile subscribers using prepaid cards (this excludes post paid subscribers that have monthly subscriptions).
Subscriptions to third generation (3G) mobile services which are defined as a group of mobile technologies that have been approved by the ITU as IMT-2000. These technologies allow voice, data and video communications. Currently, five standards have
been specified as IMT-2000 based on various combinations of mobile technologies: CDMA Direct Spread (WCDMA), CDMA Multi-Carrier (CDMA2000), CDMA Time division (TD-CDMA), TDMA Single-Carrier and FDMA/TDMA and OFDMA TDD WMAN
(IEEE 802.16).

The percent of total population that have access to a 3G mobile communication network.

Machine to machine on mobile networks is defined as:

- The number of SIM-cards that are assigned for use in machines and devices (cars, smart meters, consumer electronics) and are not part of a consumer subscription.
- Dongles for mobile data and tablet subscriptions should be counted under mobile broadband data
- SIM-cards in personal navigation devices, smart meters, trains, automobile etc should be counted under M2M.

The number of subscriptions accessing ISPs over the PSTN (includes ISDN access).

Sum of 12. Number of DSL/vDSL Internet subscriptions, 13. Number of Cable Modem Internet subscriptions, 14. Fiber-to-the-premises/home , 15. Fiber-to-the-building and 16. Other broadband access technologies
Includes all DSL lines (ADSL, VDSL, etc.) offering Internet connectivity which are capable of download speeds of at least 256 kbit/s. The DSL line is excluded if it is not used for Internet connectivity (e.g. leased lines).
Includes all cable modem subscribers at download speeds greater than 256 kbit/s.
Includes all fiber-to-the-premises/home subscribers (e.g. to the house or apartment) at download speeds greater than 256 kbit/s.
Includes all fiber-to-the-building subscribers (e.g. Apartment LAN) using fiber-to-the-building but Ethernet to end-users. NOTE: This counts only the number of actual subscribers to the provider, not end users.
Other fixed (wired) broadband subscriptions (only connections with speeds faster than 256 kbit/s to end users): Power-line-communications and Leased lines (circuits) with Internet connectivity.

Sum of 18. Satellite subscriptions, 19. Terrestrial fixed wireless subscriptions and 20. Terrestrial mobile wireless
Satellite (includes only connections with speeds faster than 256 kbit/s or faster to end users).
Terrestrial fixed wireless (includes only connections with speeds faster than 256 kbit/s or faster to end users): i. Includes fixed wireless technologies: LMDS, MMDS, Fixed WiMAX, Other fixed-wireless transport technologies; ii. Does not include: 3G mobile
technologies, Wi-Fi. Exceptions: included in rare case that Wi-Fi/3G is the transport mechanism of a fixed-wireless provider.

Sum of 20a. Standard mobile broadband subscriptions and 20b. Dedicated mobile data subscriptions
Standard mobile subscriptions (only included with active use): Includes mobile subscriptions which advertise data speeds of 256 kbit/s or greater and which have been used to make an Internet data connection via IP in the previous 3 months. To be counted,
the subscription must allow access to the greater Internet via HTTP and must have been used to make a data connection using the Internet Protocol in the previous three months. Standard SMS and MMS messaging do not count as an active Internet data
connection even if they are delivered via IP.
Dedicated data subscriptions: Subscriptions to dedicated data services over a mobile network which are purchased separately from voice services either as a stand-alone service (modem/dongle) or as an add-on data package to voice services which
requires an additional subscription. All dedicated mobile data subscriptions with recurring subscription fees are included as “active data subscriptions” regardless of actual use. Pre-paid mobile broadband plans require active use if there is no monthly
subscription. Services such as mobile WiMAX and modem using a USB dongle would fall into this category.
