Mostly data from 2008?!

Data like this which is more than a decade out of date isn't really worthwhile having on Wikipedia. If this was a chart over time, it might be interesting seeing number of telephone lines per country by the decade. Yet a list composed mostly of data from 2008 is rather low value. 74.104.188.4 (talk) 02:36, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

By continent.

The 100 values currently cited add to 1,017,584,776. ("worldwide" says 931,000,000).

By continent, for the 100 values cited;

. . 410,332,472 . . Asia

. . 298,810,000 . . Europe

. . 164,402,100 . . Nth America

. . . 76,629,300 . . Sth America

. . . 56,290,900 . . Africa

. . . 11,120,000 . . Oceania

Note1: all of Russia is counted in Europe.

Note2: I used dots because I couldn't align it with spaces.
