50 Million Fixed Wireless Accounts Added Over the Last 5 Years

“As wireless broadband technology develops in leaps and bounds, the connection cost per megabit for 4G has been reduced to about four percent of that for 3G,” Houlin Zhao, International Telecommunication Union Secretary-General at the The Telecom World 2018 conference in Durban, South Africa.

“Over the past five years 50 million households and many small- to medium-sized enterprises, schools, and hospitals have accessed the Internet through fixed wireless broadband,” he said. “In the next three to five years, wireless technology is expected to become an important means of raising the broadband penetration rate from 17 percent to 50 percent in developing countries.”
