How to read this table
Table rows are categorized by country, making it easy to compare Russia's values with those of Austria or Belarus. Values are presented in units per 100 people at year-end. Analyzing this data helps track the availability of landline telephones over fifteen years
What is visible in these numbers
Five highest values: Germany (65), Greece (53), Portugal (53), United Kingdom (53), Belarus (47). The top five account for 28.3% of the total for all positions
Observations are annual, the dataset contains 8 periods. Of 200 possible values, 200 (100%) are filled — almost no empty cells remain
The same indicator for other periods
These series cannot be stitched together Over the common period 2010 values diverge — Rosstat recalculated the indicator using a revised methodology. They cannot be combined into a single chart: a break would appear at the junction, which did not actually occur
