An update of fixed-line, mobile\/cellular and fixed-broadband Internet take up, plus a new entry, mobile\/cellular broadband Internet take-up, across select Caribbean countries, as at the end of 2015.<\/em><\/p>\n We have been anxiously awaiting the release of the latest telecoms statistics from the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), which we use every year to examine the state of development of telecoms \u2013 in terms of subscriptions density \u2013 across the Caribbean. Table 1 lists the countries that were included in the exercise. Since our 2015 review, we have added Puerto Rico, to bring our total to 23 countries. Again it should be noted that Bonaire, Cura\u00e7ao and Sint Maarten have not been included, as the needed data does not appear to be publicly available for those countries.<\/p>\n
