日前，国际电信联盟发布《衡量数字化发展：2025年事实和数据》报告指出，全球数字连接水平显著提 高，但不平衡问题依然较为突出。 报告指出，移动宽带价格虽在下降，但仍有约三分之一经济体未达标。全球移动数据费用占收入比例从 1.5%降至1.4%，但仍有75个经济体未达到2%的目标。在低收入国家，固定宽带费用约占收入的28%， 但在高收入国家这一比例仅为1%左右，较差的可负担性直接导致使用率低。在低收入国家，手机使用 率只有53%，移动宽带普及率也较低，这些现象均与价格高度相关。从区域来看，非洲移动宽带费用占 收入的比例为5.3%，远超2%的目标，阿拉伯国家、亚太地区均高于全球1.4%的平均值，而欧洲最低仅 为0.4%。报告指出，价格是低收入国家上网率低的直接原因之一。尽管全球平均成本下降，但对低收 入群体而言，仍无法负担。 (责任编辑：张紫祎) 报告指出，全球互联网使用率持续上升但增速放缓，2025年全球互联网使用率达到74%，近60亿人，较 2024年上升3个百分点。尽管本年度增长略快于上一年，但整体趋势仍在放缓，这一现象已持续多年。 最后的未接入互联网人口集中在最困难地区。数据显示，当前仍有22亿人处于"完全 ...
