Telephone density 1 'Telephone density' or 'teledensity' is the number of telephone connections for every hundred individuals living within an area. It varies widely across the nations and also between urban and rural areas within a country. Telephone density has significant correlation with the per capita GDP of the area. It is also used as an indicator of economic development of the country or specific region.

Telephone density - Determining telephone density 1 Since this method caused disadvantage to some countries where the fixed line network is well established, or others where the mobile network is still in its initial stage of development, effective teledensity has been proposed by ITU as the sloution, which is defined as either fixed line connections or mobile subscribers per hundred inhabitants – whichever is higher.

Telephone density - Teledensity and GDP 1 The correlation between teledensity and per capita GDP could be represented by a straight line in a logarithmic graph. This relation was first mentioned by A.G.W. Jipp. a German engineer, in his book published in The graph is helpful to compare the telephone infrastructure development of different countries or regions, on the basis of teledensity.
