1  Only includes commercial Internet service providers.

Individuals and businesses may have several Internet subscriptions and several individuals may use the same subscription. The number of subscriptions is therefore not equivalent to the number of households/businesses with Internet access. A household can for instance get Internet access through employer, educational institutions or by sharing access with other households. The survey ICT in households contains more information about households with Internet access.
