Indicator Summary

Overview

The total amount of digital data sent and received by users across mobile or Wi-Fi networks during a given time period is referred to as data use in wireless networks. It records activities including web browsing, streaming videos, using social media, playing online games, using the cloud, and using other wirelessly accessible internet-based services. Monitoring this statistic is very important since it shows trends in consumer behaviour, digital adoption, and the demand for internet services. Monitoring data usage aids regulators and politicians in determining the expansion of digital connectivity, spotting network infrastructure flaws, and allocating spectrum. It gives telecom operators information about user demand, aids in bandwidth allocation optimisation, and supports choices about pricing schemes and network expansion investments. Broadly speaking, growing cellular data usage is a crucial indicator for company strategy and governance since it frequently denotes greater economic activity, digital literacy, and the trend toward a more connected society.
