REUTERS\/Mike Segar<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>Geneva: Nearly three quarters of people over the age of 10 now own a mobile phone<\/a>, potentially opening the way to broader internet use<\/a>, the United Nations<\/a> said Wednesday.

The
UN<\/a>'s International Telecommunication Union<\/a> has provided its first estimate of regional and global ownership, revealing that 73 percent of the world's population over 10 years of age owned a cellphone in 2022.

\"Mobile phones are the most common gateway to internet use, with the percentage of ownership serving as an indicator of internet availability and access,\" the ITU said as it launched its annual report on global connectivity.

But it cautioned that
mobile phone ownership<\/a> remains higher than internet use -- especially in lower-income countries, with broadband usually more expensive than cellular-only services.

The ITU found that mobile phone ownership had grown steadily in recent years, estimating it had risen from under 67 percent in 2019.

The online population also saw a big \"bump\" up in 2020 during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic, ITU senior economist Thierry Geiger told AFP.

Unsurprisingly, ownership was highest in wealthy countries, where 95 percent of people currently own a mobile phone, and lowest in low-income countries, where only 49 percent do, the ITU said.

'Digital darkness'
<\/strong>
The UN's telecoms agency says roughly a third of the planet has still never been online.

But the online population has been increasing and an estimated 5.3 billion people, or 66 percent of people worldwide, are now using the internet.

\"Access to the internet is increasing, but not as quickly and evenly across the world as it needs to,\" Doreen Bogdan-Martin, who heads the ITU's telecommunications development division and will soon take over as agency chief, said in the statement.

\"Too many people still live in digital darkness.\"

Estimates of global internet use typically look at the price of mobile-broadband services, which allow users to access the internet from a smartphone and are relatively inexpensive compared to a fixed internet service.

According to Wednesday's report, the global median price of mobile-broadband services dropped from 1.9 percent of average gross national income (GNI) per capita last year to 1.5 percent now.

However, the cost still remains too high for the average consumer in most low-income economies, where a basic mobile data plan is estimated to cost nine percent of GNI per capita.

The ITU called on all countries to ensure affordable broadband access, defined as costing less than two percent of GNI per capita.

While the cost of connectivity appears to be continuing its decline, Geiger warned rising costs for other necessities could force many to move offline.

The ITU report also found a significant gender gap: some 259 million fewer women have access to the internet than men.

Only 63 percent of women are currently using the internet, compared to 69 percent of men, it said.

日内瓦:近四分之三的人现在10岁以上的拥有移动电话更广泛的,有可能打开方式互联网的使用,联合国周三说。

联合国国际电信联盟首次提供了估计的区域和全球所有权,透露,73%的世界人口在10岁的时候拥有一个手机在2022年。

“手机是最常见的通向互联网的使用,所有权的比例作为互联网的一项指标的可用性和访问,“国际电信联盟说,它推出了年度报告对全球连通性。

但它警告说,手机所有权仍高于互联网的使用,特别是在低收入国家,宽带通常比cellular-only更昂贵的服务。

国际电联发现手机所有权近年来稳步增长,估计已从2019年的不到67%上升。

网民也看到一个大“撞”于2020年在第一年的Covid-19大流行,ITU高级经济学家亨利盖革告诉法新社。

不出所料,所有权是最高的在富裕国家,目前95%的人拥有手机,和低收入国家的最低,只有49%,国际电联说。

“数字黑暗”

联合国的电信机构说,大约三分之一的地球还没有在线。

但网民日益增多,估计有53亿人,或66%的人在世界范围内,现在使用互联网。

“上网越来越多,但不是那样快速、均匀地在世界各地需要,“多琳Bogdan-Martin,国际电联电信发展部门和负责人很快就会取代美国,成为机构首席,在声明中说。

“太多的人仍然生活在数字黑暗。”

估计全球互联网的使用通常的价格移动宽带服务,它允许用户访问互联网从智能手机和相对廉价的比较固定的互联网服务。

周三的报告显示,全球移动宽带服务的中间价格降至1.9%的人均国民收入(GNI)去年到现在的1.5%。

然而,普通消费者的成本仍然过高在大多数低收入经济体,一个基本的移动数据计划估计人均成本占国民总收入的百分之九。

国际电信联盟呼吁所有国家,以确保合理的宽带接入,定义为人均花费占国民总收入的不到百分之二。

而连接的成本似乎继续下降,盖革警告其他必需品价格上涨可能会迫使许多离线。

ITU报告还发现了一个显著的性别差异:2.59亿年减少女性比男性可以接触到互联网。

使用互联网,目前只有63%的女性和69%的男性相比,它说。
