The dutch numbers are from 2009, although somehow they claim to be from 2013. Some numbers (from other countries) are from 2019 so what they are comparing are the number in 2009 in one country to the number of another country in 2019. The list is alright but don't put rankings in front of it as it's apples and oranges.

The list as is seems to be of low value, beyond stating what most people would have likely already assumed to be true.

There are 74 countries on the list and only three have very unusually low figures: Cuba, North Korea, Ethiopia. The first two are obvious, the last one has probably changed a lot since ~2013.

After that you spike up to Lebanon at 64 phones per 100 people, with data from 2010. So that's probably 90+ now.

The extreme majority of all adults globally now have a mobile phone, even if it's a $20 KaiOS phone.

Ethiopia is at least 62.6 million now (https://ethiodailypost.com/2018/02/20/ethio-telecom-mobile-s...) -- guess is that many of these numbers are not kept up to date.

It's pretty hard to get the data from every year
