About Mobile Subscriptions per 100 People Rankings
Uzbekistan leads all 223 countries in Mobile Subscriptions per 100 People with a value of 1.1K per 100 people, while American Samoa ranks last at 4.00 per 100 people. This represents a 278-fold difference between the highest and lowest values.

Mobile cellular subscriptions per 100 people, from World Bank Open Data.
Why This Ranking Matters
Examining Mobile Subscriptions per 100 People across all countries reveals patterns that might not be obvious at the national level. Regional clusters, outlier nations, and historical trajectories all become clearer when the full global picture is assembled in a single ranking.
Global Range
Values range from 4.00 per 100 people (American Samoa) to 1.1K per 100 people (Uzbekistan) — a 278-fold difference across 223 countries.
Regional Patterns
Asian countries lead with 7 entries in the top 20, though representation spans multiple continents. Regional factors clearly play a role, but outliers from other parts of the world show that national policy and geography matter as much as continental trends.
Values are tightly clustered around the median of 116 per 100 people, with most countries falling within a narrow range. A few outliers at the extremes account for most of the overall spread.
Notable Outliers
Uzbekistan stands far above the rest, with a value 93% higher than second-place Fiji. This extraordinary lead suggests unique national circumstances — geographic scale, resource endowment, or policy choices — that set it apart from even its closest competitors.
