The 2026 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. This year’s report also looks at the memory price crisis and how it affects affordability of internet-enabled devices.
