The Fiber Development Index is based on data that has been gathered for each individual index metric. There are nine index metrics in total, split into three key areas:
Fiber supply and fiber demand metrics are based on Omdia research and analysis, using independent country-level data sources (such as the national telecommunications regulatory authority) where possible. All data in these sections are for January 1, 2022. Where data does not exist, Omdia has provided realistic estimations based on other factors such as leading service provider data or other related information.
All broadband experience measures are based on Omdia’s analysis of Ookla Speedtest data.
All other research presented in this paper is based on Omdia’s extensive research around broadband and optical-fiber networks, including market trackers, in-depth market forecasts, and consumer and enterprise surveys.
