Connected data also reveals that most of the world lacks cellular coverage, with 450 million people worldwide lacking mobile connectivity. An International Telecommunication Union (ITU) report shows that internet penetration is 87% in developed nations, 47% in developing countries, and only 19% in the least developed countries. These numbers clearly indicate the dire need for an infrastructure that enables a digital, visible and transparent supply chain on a global scale.
