A curated list of connectivity indexes, maps, and reports to understand global access to communication infrastructure.
Awesome Connectivity Info is a curated 'awesome list' of indexes, maps, and reports that measure and visualize global access to communication infrastructure like the internet and mobile networks. It aggregates public-domain data from sources like the ITU, GSMA, and Cloudflare to help users understand who has connectivity, on what terms, and where gaps exist. The project addresses the need for a centralized, open repository of connectivity intelligence.
Researchers, policymakers, telecommunications analysts, digital inclusion advocates, and journalists who need reliable, aggregated data on global internet and mobile infrastructure access and quality.
It saves significant time by vetting and organizing hundreds of disparate connectivity resources into a single, structured list. Unlike proprietary databases, all listed resources are in the public domain, making it a trusted, open-source starting point for analysis and reporting.
Awesome list of connectivity indexes and reports to help you better under who has access to communication infrastructure and on what terms.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Curates hundreds of indexes, maps, and reports from authoritative sources like ITU, GSMA, and Cloudflare, saving researchers from scouring multiple websites individually, as evidenced by the extensive lists under Global Connectivity Indexes and Periodic Reports.
Includes both worldwide connectivity indices and specific regional reports for areas like Africa, Asia Pacific, and Latin America, aiding targeted analysis for digital inclusion efforts, with dedicated sections in the README.
Lists resources from international bodies (e.g., UN), industry groups (e.g., GSMA), corporations (e.g., Ericsson), and research institutes, providing a balanced, multi-stakeholder perspective on connectivity data.
All resources are public-domain and freely accessible, aligned with the project's CC0 license and focus on transparency, making it a trusted starting point for non-commercial research and advocacy.
As a manually curated list, some links are outdated or broken, such as archived pages for older reports (e.g., A4AI links via Internet Archive), requiring users to verify availability and potentially missing recent updates.
Serves as a directory rather than a database; users must navigate to each linked resource separately to access or download data, with no unified API or integrated search functionality within the list itself.
While recent reports (e.g., 2024-2025) are included, some entries date back to 2016 or earlier (e.g., World Economic Forum reports), which may not reflect current connectivity trends without user diligence in checking dates.
