Since 1985, CTIA, a trade association representing the U.S. wireless communications industry, has tracked the evolution of the American wireless industry with a comprehensive annual survey. Their 2023 Annual Survey report provides facts and figures for a 2022 snapshot of the nation’s wireless industry and consumer wireless usage. The numbers are for the nation as a whole and are not broken down for counties or even by state. However, applying CTIA’s national figures proportionately to L.A. County’s relative share of the U.S. population (2022 U.S. Census estimates), we sought to offer an estimate for wireless usage in Los Angeles County.
