About Mobile Subscriptions
Mobile subscriptions per 100 people: the number of active SIM cards or mobile-phone service contracts in a country, divided by its population and multiplied by 100.
A figure above 100 is normal because many people hold more than one SIM. High penetration signals widespread mobile connectivity and can enable mobile banking and e-government in areas with limited fixed-line infrastructure. Compare with internet users to gauge how much connectivity relies solely on voice or basic data.
