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.

The Little Data Book on Information and Communication Technology 2009 v 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. vi 2009 The Little Data Book on Information and Communication Technology Regional tables The country composition of regions is based on the World Bank's analytical regions and may differ from common geographic usage.

Every economy in The Little Data Book on Information and Communication Technology is classified as low income, middle income, or high income. Low- and middle- income 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.

(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 deg- radation 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 produc- ers 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.

(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 com- petition for international long distance telephone calls (M = monopoly, P = par- tial competition, C = full competition). (International Telecommunication Union and World Bank) 228 2009 The Little Data Book on Information and Communication Technology Level of competition, Internet service, is the level of competition for retail Internet access service (M = monopoly, P = partial competition, C = full competition). (International Telecommunication Union and World Bank) Level of competition, mobile telephone service, is the level of competition for digital cellular mobile services (M = monopoly, P = partial competition, C = full competition). (International Telecommunication Union and World Bank) Mobile and fixed-line subscribers per employee are telephone subscribers (fixed line plus mobile) divided by the total number of telecommunications employees. (International Telecommunication Union) Mobile cellular subscriptions are the number of subscriptions--including postpaid and prepaid subscriptions--to a public mobile telephone service using cellular technology that provides access to the public switched tele- phone network. (International Telecommunication Union) Mobile telephone usage is the minutes of use per mobile user per month.

(World Bank) Population covered by mobile cellular network is the percentage of people who live within areas served by a mobile cellular signal regardless of whether they use it. (International Telecommunication Union) Price basket for Internet service is calculated based on the cheapest avail- able tariff for accessing the Internet 20 hours a month (10 hours peak and 10 hours off-peak). The basket excludes telephone line rental but includes telephone usage charges if applicable. Data are compiled in the national currency and converted to U.S. dollars using the average annual exchange rate. (International Telecommunication Union) Price basket for mobile service is calculated based on the prepaid price for 25 calls per month spread over the same mobile network, other mobile networks, and mobile to fixed calls and during peak, off-peak, and weekend times. The basket also includes 30 text messages per month. (International Telecommunication Union) Price basket for residential fixed line is calculated as one-fifth of the installation charge, the monthly subscription charge, and the cost of local The Little Data Book on Information and Communication Technology 2009 229 Glossary calls (15 peak and 15 off-peak calls of three minutes each). (International Telecommunication Union and World Bank) Price of call to United States is the cost of a three-minute, peak-rate, fixed-line call from the country to the United States. (International Telecommunication Union) Secure Internet servers are the number of servers using encryption tech- nology for Internet transactions. Data listed for 2007 are for December 2008.
