The GSMA Mobile Connectivity Index

Mobile is continuing to close the connectivity gap, with 1.1 billion more people benefitting from mobile internet connectivity since 2015. But more work needs to be done, particularly in rural and remote areas.

The GSMA Mobile Connectivity Index measures the performance of 170 countries – representing 99% of the global population – against key enablers of mobile internet adoption: infrastructure, affordability, consumer readiness, and content and services. This data can help the mobile industry and other stakeholders understand where to focus action in order to drive increased mobile internet adoption. It now includes data from 2014 to 2019. 

Countries are scored within a range of 0 to 100 across a number of indicators, with a higher score representing stronger performance in delivering mobile internet connectivity.
