Venue: LinkedIn

Join us on Thursday 11 December for a one-hour LinkedIn Live session exploring the latest findings from The State of Mobile Internet Connectivity 2025 report series.

Now published as a six-part series, the 2025 edition provides an in-depth view of global connectivity trends across low- and middle-income countries. It explores the usage and coverage gaps, highlights the key barriers preventing billions of people from coming online, or from using mobile internet regularly and in diverse ways, and identifies the opportunities to accelerate digital inclusion.

During the session, co-authors Matthew Shanahan and Kalvin Bahia will present the key findings and analysis from this year’s research. Their presentations will be followed by fireside discussions with industry leaders Yasir Azman, CEO of Grameenphone Ltd and Ralph Mupita, CEO of MTN Group.

Join us to deepen your understanding of the evolving connectivity landscape, the barriers that persist, and the significant social and economic benefits that could be unlocked by closing the usage gap.
