International Comparisons - Total communication access paths in the OECD area 1993–2013

Total communication access paths = (analogue lines + ISDN lines + DSL + cable modem + fibre + other broadband + mobile subscribers).

These aggregate number do not take into account wireless broadband subscriptions bundled with mobile plans, as these are considered a single communication access path. Wireless broadband subscriptions for laptops and tablets and smartphone that necessitate a separate subscription or payment (dedicated mobile broadband subscription) are counted separately.
