Technical Information
Basic Information
Telco taxonomy is based on Eskimi DMP (Data Managemt Platform). Eskimi DMP takes information which is received from bid request when doing digital advertising. Core information consists of users who are browsing online.
If the country isn't in the Telco Taxonomy it might be that DMP isn't enabled for this country. DMP can enabled by Gabriele. Keep in mind that DMP stats will be generated only next month. So you will get your taxonomy only then.
DMP statistics is calculated once in a month and generated for the past month. DMP stats calculation is needed to recalculate users, to check if new users appeared or some users are not valid anymore.
Users are excluded after 30 days from the last seen time.
Telco taxonomy is based on device IDs that are received from bid request. Device IDs are more stable user identifiers than cookies and they can be used on various third party platforms (Facebook, DV360, Adform and etc.).
Segment Explanation

You can export the google sheet and change the sheets based on your needs. Do not do changes to the online document.
Valid Device ID - means that user was seen within 30 day period.
Unique Device ID - indicates one device ID, but it doesn't represent unique person. As a person can have more devices.
Overlap - some users (device IDs) can be found in two or more sheets. As they are found under both/more segments.
Total Number - sheet indicates valid and unique device IDs in the country. Some device IDs may be found online without operator or ISP. This is why the amount of these two sheets won't resonate with the total number of device IDs.
All Mobile Operator Uses - sheet indicates valid and unique device IDs that were seen connected to a Mobile Network Operator (MNO).
All ISP Uses - sheet indicates valid and unique device IDs that were seen connected to an Internet Service Providers (ISP). An Internet Service Provider (ISP) is the industry term for the company that is able to provide you with access to the Internet.
Operators By Country - sheet indicates valid device IDs that were seen connected to a specific MNO in the country. Keep in mind that some users may be under two or more operators as they are multi-sims. This is why the sum of device IDs won't match the total amount of all mobile operator users.
ISPs By Country - sheet indicates valid device IDs that were seen connected to a specific ISP in the country. Most of the time users are using one ISP (there are small amount of exceptions). This is why the sum of ISPs by Country will match All ISP Users.
All SIM Users - sheet indicates valid and unique device IDs that were seen with a SIM card. This number resonates with all mobile operator users as if the user is seen connected to an operator the relevant SIM card is atributed.
All Multi SIM Users - sheet indicates valid and unique device IDs using more than 2 SIM cards for the mobile internet. Different SIM cards were used not necessarily at the same time. This information is not related with user's device type (dual, triple SIM).
SIM Amount By Country - sheet indicates how many SIM cards are used by unique and valid users. This number will closely resonate with all SIM users.
Lost SIMs By Operator, Country - sheet indicates how many users stopped to use Mobile Network Operator (MNO) SIM card for mobile data in the past 14 days. This data is NOT about mobile number portability (MNP) when the real phone number is migrated from one network to another.
SIM Type By Operator, Country - sheet indicates how many users uses Mobile Network Operator (MNO) SIM cards as the primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary SIMs for the internet access. The secondary, tertiary, quaternary SIM is indicated as seen less often using the mobile internet in the comparison with the other SIMs.
Connection By Operator, Country - sheet indicates how many different how many Mobile Network Operator (MNO) clients are using which network type. Keep in mind that this section indicates how many device IDs were connected to a specific connection network (2G, 3G, 4G). However, it doesn't indicate that the device can only support one or another connection. One device ID can be found under one, two or all connections.
