@ Ali, during the ICT Week hosted by CA also learnt that coverage does not necessarily mean land mass, it means people in commercially viable areas. Maybe Adam can expound on the same. He had a very interesting presentation.

Yes, I prefer GSMA statistics as they are the only ones who calculate how many people have more than 1 sim card, and then they only count users. CA just counts sim cards, and many people have 2…
Even number of smart phones is not entirely accurate as some people have 2 of them as well, but still number of smart phones is also a decent estimate.
GSMA Intelligence is a fantastic resource

This list has always tried to challenge ourselves and get information right. Developments goals are achieved when we deal with accurate information.
The Communications authority information on mobile penetration as of end of 2016 stood at over 90%. Yet the GSMA says Kenya's mobile penetration stood at 59%. See link and attached report.

A few weeks ago there was a debate on this list about Internet coverage.
