The Little Data Book on Information and Communication Technology

Preface The last 15 years have brought an unprecedented increase in access to telephone services. This growth has been driven primarily by wireless technologies and liberalization of telecommunications markets. Mobile communications evolved from simple voice and text services to diversified applications and now reach more than 4 billion people globally, including people in remote and rural areas. The number of Internet users more than tripled between 2000 and 2007, and the demand for broadband connection is rising. The impacts of information and communication technologies cross all sectors. Research shows that investment in information and communication technologies is associated with such economic benefits as higher productivity, lower costs, new economic opportunities, job creation, innovation, and increased trade and exports. Information and communication technologies also help provide better services in health and education and strengthen social cohesion. The Little Data Book on Information and Communication Technology 2009 charts the progress of this revolution for 209 countries around the world. It provides comparable statistics on the sector for 2000 and 2007 across a range of indicators, enabling readers to readily compare countries. This book includes indicators covering the economic and social context, the structure of the information and communication technology sector, sector efficiency and capacity, and sector performance related to access, usage, quality, affordability, trade, and applications. The Glossary contains definitions of the terms used in the tables.

Data notes The data in this book are for 2000 and 2007 or the most recent year unless otherwise noted in the table or the Glossary. •

Growth rates are proportional changes from the previous year unless otherwise noted.

•

Regional aggregates include data for low- and middle-income economies only.

•

Italics indicate data for years or periods other than those specified.

Symbols used: ..

indicates that data are not available or that aggregates cannot be calculated because of missing data.

0 or 0.0

indicates zero or small enough that the number would round to zero at the displayed number of decimal places.

$

indicates current U.S. dollars.

Data are shown for economies with populations greater than 30,000 or for smaller economies if they are members of the World Bank. The term country (used interchangeably with economy) does not imply political independence or official recognition by the World Bank but refers to any economy for which the authorities report separate social or economic statistics.

The Little Data Book on Information and Communication Technology

Income group tables For operational and analytical purposes the World Bank’s main criterion for classifying economies is gross national income (GNI) per capita. Every economy in The Little Data Book on Information and Communication Technology is classified as low income, middle income, or high income. Low- and middleincome economies are sometimes referred to as developing economies. The use of the term is convenient; it is not intended to imply that all economies in the group are experiencing similar development or that other economies have reached a preferred or final stage of development. Classification by income does not necessarily reflect development status. Low-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of $935 or less in 2007. Middle-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of more than $935 but less than $11,456. Lower-middle-income and upper-middle-income economies are separated at a GNI per capita of $3,705. High-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of $11,456 or more. Euro area includes the member states of the Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union that have adopted the euro as their currency: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, and Spain.

Glossary Adult literacy rate is the percentage of people ages 15 and older who can, with understanding, read and write a short, simple statement about their everyday life. (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization Institute for Statistics) E-government Web measure index measures the level of sophistication of a government’s online presence based on five stages of e-government evolution: emerging presence, enhanced presence, interactive presence, transactional presence, and networked presence. A value of 0 indicates the lowest presence, a value of 1 the highest. (United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs and United Nations Public Administration Network) Fixed broadband subscribers are users of the Internet who subscribe to paid high-speed access to the public Internet. High-speed access is at least 256 kilobits per second in one or both directions. (International Telecommunication Union) GDP growth is the annual percentage rate of growth of gross domestic product (GDP) at market prices based on constant local currency. Aggregates are based on 2000 U.S. dollars. GDP is the sum of gross value added by all resident producers in the economy plus any product taxes and minus any subsidies not included in the value of the products. It is calculated without deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or for depletion and degradation of natural resources. (World Bank and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) GNI per capita, World Bank Atlas method, is gross national income (GNI) converted to U.S. dollars using the World Bank Atlas method divided by the midyear population. GNI is the sum of value added by all resident producers plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in the valuation of output plus net receipts of primary income (compensation of employees and property income) from abroad. GNI, calculated in national currency, is usually converted to U.S. dollars at official exchange rates for comparisons across economies. The World Bank Atlas method is used to smooth fluctuations in prices and exchange rates. It averages the exchange rate for a given year and the two preceding years, adjusted for differences in rates of inflation between the country and the Euro area, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. (World Bank) Gross primary, secondary, and tertiary enrollment is the combined number of students enrolled in primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of education, regardless of age, as a percentage of the population of official school age for the three levels. (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Institute for Statistics) Households with a television are the percentage of households with a television (a standalone device capable of receiving broadcast television signals using such access means as over-the-air reception, cable, or satellite. (International Telecommunication Union)

Glossary ICT expenditure comprises computer hardware (computers, storage devices, printers, and other peripherals); computer software (operating systems, programming tools, utilities, applications, and internal software development); computer services (information technology consulting, computer and network systems integration, web hosting, data processing services, and other services); and communications services (voice and data communications services) and wired and wireless communications equipment. (Global Insight and World Information Technology and Services Alliance) ICT goods exports and imports are goods that are intended to fulfill the function of information processing and communication by electronic means, including transmission and display, or that use electronic processing to detect, measure, or record physical phenomena or to control a physical process. They include telecommunications equipment, computer and related equipment, electronic components, audio and video equipment, and other goods. Re-exports (exports of foreign goods in the same state as previously imported) are included. (United Nations Statistics Division) ICT service exports comprise communications services (telecommunications, business network services, teleconferencing, support services, and postal services) and computer and information services (database, data processing, software design and development, maintenance and repair, and news agency services). (International Monetary Fund) International Internet bandwidth is the capacity that backbone operators provide to carry Internet traffic. (International Telecommunication Union and TeleGeography) International voice traffic is the sum of international incoming and outgoing telephone traffic (in minutes). (International Telecommunication Union) Internet subscribers are people who pay for access to the Internet (dialup, leased line, and fixed broadband), including people who access the socalled free Internet by telephone (which may incur a cost), those who pay in advance for a given amount of time (prepaid), and those who pay for a subscription (based on either a flat rate or volume per usage). (International Telecommunication Union) Internet users are people who pay for Internet access (dialup, leased line, and fixed broadband) and people with access to the worldwide computer network who do not directly pay (for example, people who are a member of a household with access and people who access the Internet from work or school). (International Telecommunication Union) Level of competition, international long distance service, is the level of competition for international long distance telephone calls (M = monopoly, P = partial competition, C = full competition). (International Telecommunication Union and World Bank)
