Global Communications Traffic Map 2005

Summary

This world map shows global communications as reflected by:

  • Minutes of international outband telephone calls per person (2004)
Legend:

  • >150
  • 100-150
  • 50-100
  • 10-50
  • 1-10
  • <1
  • No data
  • Telephone traffic flows in millions of minutes: “Each band is proportional to the total annual traffic on the public telephone network in both directions between each pair of countries. The map shows all inter-continental routes with a volume of more than 100 million minutes.”
Legend:

  • 3,000
  • 1,500
  • 750
  • 200

The map also indicates telephone codes and time zones, city names, and time zone boundaries within countries.

Region inset panels provide graphs and statistics on traffic flows (in descending order from 100 to 10 million minutes), country total (100-500-1,500), and balance of traffic (on routes where traffic in one direction accounts for more than 60 percent of the total) for Asia & Australasia, North America, Europe, and Latin America & the Caribbean.

Additionaly, the map offers graphs on inbound traffic to top VolP destinations, percentages of total inbound VolP and inbound switched traffic by region, interregional traffic flows, the percentages of wholesale traffic terminated and their associated revenues by destination region, and international call volumes and growth rates.
