             Description

             Rationale /        This indicator demonstrates the access to information and technology connectivity
             Interpretation /   and is important given that connectivity across regions and between countries is
             Benchmarking       correlated to economic prosperity, development and growth.
                                At the same time, this indicator reveals the level of advancement of connectivity
                                technology available to the population. This in turn indicates the breadth of
                                sophisticated communication and connectivity technology used.
                                A higher penetration rate means that more of the population have access to
                                knowledge and communication, as well as technology (i.e. mobile phones,
                                computers, television, etc.) to receive and send information and communications.
                                Wireless broadband subscriptions include wireless broadband through satellite

                                An increasing trend and higher values are considered positive.
             Methodology        Calculate as:
                                Numerator: Number of wireless broadband subscriptions.
                                                        th
                                Denominator: One 100,000  of the city’s population.
             Unit               Number / 100,000 inhabitants
