The source, who chose to remain anonymous,
stated that Jordanians consumed approximately 1.38 billion gigabytes during the
first quarter of the current year, compared to 1.154 billion in the same period
last year, Al-Ghad news reported.
The source explained that
Jordanians' internet and data consumption during Q1 2023 was as follows: Jordanians
consumed around 947.7 million gigabits through broadband fixed internet
networks, while total consumption of data by Jordanians through wide-scale
mobile communication and internet networks (including 3G, 4G, Advanced 4G, and
early-stage 5G) was approximately 440.9 million gigabytes.
Underlying causes
The source attributed the increase in internet
and data consumption to several key factors, including the growth in the number
of internet and
mobile communication services users, people's increased
reliance on the internet for social and work purposes, the digital
transformation witnessed across various economic sectors, and the digital
transformation of government services.
The source indicated that the local market
is witnessing the initial stages of introducing 5G services. As its expansion
continues, this will constitute a qualitative addition to the existing
internet networks, including 3G and 4G, and fiber optic networks. This is expected to
meet users' data service needs, likely leading to a substantial increase in
internet usage in the coming years.
