Ireland Joins The 100% Club
Ireland is the latest European country to hit 100 percent mobile penetration. These stories are becoming less and less newsworthy -- Ireland's 100 percent rate is only good for tenth out of the eldest 15 EU member nations, and is 3 points below the EU average. The Irish still have a ways to go, however, to catch Liechtenstein, which has the highest penetration in Europe at 156%.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
