Fixed networks, though vital, have not proven to be the answer to connecting the unconnected globally, as mobile networks have proven to be the way most people in the world use voice services, messaging and internet apps. In 2019, growth rates for fixed network internet access grew at about a half percent growth rate, down from two percent in 2018, according to Point Topic.
By 2019 there were 108 subscriber accounts per 100 persons globally, with 83 percent use of mobile internet. In comparison, there were 15 fixed network broadband subscriptions per 100 persons and 12 fixed network voice subscriptions per person the same year, according to the International Telecommunications Union.
Much of the fixed network broadband installed base is in China.
The highest fixed network broadband net additions are in a handful of countries including the United States, Iran, Indonesia, Viet Nam and Russia.
