The table below contains more information regarding the indicator.

Goal	Goal 17: Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development
Target	Target 17.6: Enhance North-South, South-South and triangular regional and international cooperation on and access to science, technology and innovation and enhance knowledge-sharing on mutually agreed terms, including through improved coordination among existing mechanisms, in particular at the United Nations level, and through a global technology facilitation mechanism
Indicator	Indicator 17.6.1: Fixed Internet broadband subscriptions per 100 inhabitants, by speed
Definition and concepts	Urban centres, also known as small/medium/large population centres, are defined as follows: small centres have populations between 1,000 and 29,999, medium centres have populations between 30,000 and 99,999, and large centres have populations greater than 100,000. Rural areas have populations of less than 1,000, or fewer than 400 people per square kilometre.
Comment and limitations	Data are reported per household instead of per inhabitant.
Method of computation	Data were readily available to report on this indicator as specified by the metadata. Please refer to the sources to access additional information on the metadata or source.
Progress measurement details	The progress status for this indicator is based solely on the principal series: “Proportion of households that have access to broadband Internet service at speeds of 50/10 Mbps.”
