What we watch, how we talk, where we go online: the state of global media in 12 charts

The UK’s communications industry regulator, Ofcom, released its annual report on the global communications market yesterday. It’s long—more than 400 pages, and with more than 100 charts. Here are some of the most interesting.


Credit to Andreessen Horowitz’s Benedict Evans for spotting the report and highlighting some of these trends on Twitter.

Revenue per mobile connection is down, except in the US and Holland

And on our mobile devices



Everyone searches on Google to get to Facebook
