the household ownership of fixed technologies: landlines (95%) and desktop (94%). Nationally, household
ownership of desktop is very low (2%) while only one
percent of the population has access to fixed-line telephones. While television and radio are most common in
most of the surveyed countries, less than a quarter of
Mozambican households own a television set and just
over a third (37%) own radio sets.
Only a minuscule proportion (0.7%) of households in
Mozambique has access to Internet services. The majority of these households connect to the Internet through
USB dongle/WiFi (91%), while 11 percent connect to the
Internet via fibre (see Figure 12).
