What the numbers mean
A mobile subscription is not a unique person. Someone with several SIM cards can contribute several subscriptions, so the rate can exceed 100 per 100 people. Conversely, several people may share a phone. This measure describes connections in the market rather than universal access or the quality of coverage.
Where the top ten ends
The tenth entry is Singapore at 173.20. This is a cutoff within the published comparison, not evidence that countries outside the table have no activity. The date and coverage are part of the answer: updating the source or changing the eligible territories can change who appears.
