27% fixed (wired)-broadband penetration (almost three times the global average)
Mobile-broadband penetration jumped from 29% to 68% in the period 2010-2013
Almost three out of four people online by end 2013

Mobile-broadband uptake in Europe
Active mobile-broadband subscriptions estimated to reach 422 million in Europe by end 2013, over 100 million more than the year before
At 68%, regional mobile-broadband penetration is estimated to remain the highest of all regions in 2013, more than doubling the global value

Fixed (wired)-broadband uptake in Europe Top performers in Europe are
also world leaders in terms of fixed (wired)-broadband penetration
European countries with the highest fixed-broadband speeds only behind Japan and Korea (Rep.) in the world’s ranking by speed

IDI values of European countries compared with the global, regional and developing/developed averages, 2012
Europe is the region with the highest average IDI and also the most homogeneous region
Eight European countries rank in the global top ten for the IDI 2012

Measurable targets for 2015
• Developed by the Commission at the Broadband Leadership Summit in October 2011.
• Four ambitious but achievable targets for making broadband policy universal and for boosting affordability and broadband uptake to ensure the benefits of broadband (in mHealth, m-payments & m-learning, for example) are available to all.
• New target on gender equality added in March 2013.
• Progress is tracked & reported annually in the run-up to 2015
• Final reporting will be made in 2015 to the UN General Assembly and Broadband Commission meeting in New York

1) Purpose: To quantify supply-side indicators for the reach of broadband networks.
2) Research: Desk research, primary research in conjunction with ITU Regional Offices, and working with partner organisations.
3) Validation: The map is validated by network operators and administrations through the ITU Regional Offices and recorded in the Validation Framework.
4) Outputs: Broadband Capacity Indicators.
Broadband Transmission Capacity Indicators
Underneath the map is a database, containing records of each individual link. The following indicators are either compiled or calculated from this database:
