Abstract

This study focused on analyzing the growth and relationship between the number of links and subscribers in the Carrier Telecommunication Services networks in Ecuador. Data provided by Arcotel, corresponding to the period from January 2018 to December 2023, were examined. Using SPSS software, 3,641 records of five variables were processed, focusing on subscribers and links, which resulted in 144 observations relevant for analysis.

 

The results of the statistical analysis revealed that the data did not follow a normal distribution, leading to the application of non-parametric statistical tests. Spearman's correlation coefficient was employed to assess the relationship between subscribers and links, yielding a value of -0.846, indicating a strong negative correlation. This suggests that as the number of subscribers increases, the number of links tends to decrease, and vice versa.

 

This study provides a detailed understanding of the dynamics between subscribers and links in carrier service networks in Ecuador, with significant implications for the development and planning of telecommunications infrastructure in the country.
