Comments:
Phones and Subscribers Should Tally
This does not prove to be very useful, as this indicator should match the one that counts the number of fixed line subscribers present in the market.
More Phones than Subscriber Lines
The data required for this indicator should be available with the fixed operators. Often the phones for fixed lines are provided by the operator of the fixed line service. However, in some cases offices and homes may have more than one phone supported by a single line. For accurate data a household survey maybe needed.
