The Little Data Book on Information and Communication Technology

Preface
Since the late 1990s access to information and communication technologies
(ICTs) has seen tremendous growthdriven primarily by the wireless technologies
and liberalization of telecommunications markets. Mobile communications
have evolved from simple voice and text services to diversified innovative
applications and mobile broadband Internet. By the end of 2011, the number
of mobile-cellular subscriptions reached approximately 6 billion globally. The
number of individuals using the Internet has risen constantly and reached an
estimated 2.4 billion while the number of fixed (wired)-broadband subscriptions
reached almost 600 million at the end of 2011.
The impacts of ICTs cross all sectors. Research has shown 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. ICTs also
help provide better services in health and education, and strengthen social
cohesion.
The Little Data Book on Information and Communication Technology 2012
illustrates the progress of this revolution for 216 economies around the
world. It provides comparable statistics on the sector for 2005 and 2010
across a range of indicators, enabling readers to readily compare economies.
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.
For more information and other World Bank data publications, visit our
data Web site at data.worldbank.org or the Web site of the Information
and Communication Technologies Department at www.worldbank.org/ict.
For more statistics on information and communication technology infrastructure, access and usage, as well as analytical reports such as the annual
Measuring the Information Society report, visit ITUs Web site at www.itu.int/
ict and the ITU ICT Eye at www.itu.int/icteye.

Data notes
The data in this book are for 2005 and 2010 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 or the ITU. The
term country (used interchangeably with economy) does not imply political
independence or official recognition by the World Bank or the ITU 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 Banks 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. Note: Classifications are
fixed during the World Banks fiscal year (ending on June 30), thus countries
remain in the categories in which they are classified irrespective of any
revisions to their per capita income data.
Low-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of $1,005 or less
in 2010.
Middle-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of more than
$1,005 but less than $12,276. Lower-middle-income and upper-middleincome economies are separated at a GNI per capita of $3,975.
High-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of $12,276 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, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, and
Spain.

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)
Domestic mobile-telephone traffic refers to the total number of minutes
of calls made by mobile subscribers within a country (including minutes to
fixed-telephone and minutes to mobile-phone subscribers). (International
Telecommunication Union)
E-government Web measure index measures the level of sophistication of a
governments online presence based on four stages of e-government evolution:
emerging presence, enhanced presence, transactional presence, and connected presence. A value of 0 indicates the lowest presence, a value of 1the
highest. Data listed for 2010 are for 2012. (United Nations Department of
Economic and Social Affairs and United Nations Public Administration Network)
Fixed-broadband sub-basket refers to the price of the monthly subscription to an entry-level fixed broadband plan. For comparability reason, the
fixed broadband sub-basket is based on a monthly usage of (a minimum of)
1Gigabyte (GB). For plans that limit the monthly amount of data transferred
by including caps below 1 Gigabyte, the cost for additional bytes is added to
the sub-basket. The minimum speed of a broadband connection is 256kbit/s.
(International Telecommunication Union)
Fixed (wired)-broadband subscriptions refers to subscriptions to high-speed
access to the public Internet (a TCP/IP connection), at downstream speeds
equal to, or greater than, 256 kbit/s. This includes cable modem, DSL,
fibre-to-the-home/building and other fixed (wired)-broadband subscriptions.
This total is measured irrespective of the method of payment. It excludes
subscriptions that have access to data communications (including the
Internet) via mobile-cellular networks. It excludes technologies listed under
the wireless-broadband category. (International Telecommunication Union)
Fixed-telephone sub-basket refers to the monthly price charged for subscribing to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), plus the cost of
30local calls to the same (fixed) network (15 peak and 15 off-peak calls) of
three minutes each. The service refers to the traditional fixed telephone line
and does not refer to, for example, prices for managed VoIP. (International
Telecommunication Union)
Fixed-telephone subscriptions refers to the sum of active number of analogue
fixed-telephone lines, voice-over-IP (VoIP) subscriptions, fixed wireless local
loop (WLL) subscriptions, ISDN voice-channel equivalents and fixed public
payphones. (International Telecommunication Union)
Foreign ownership is the maximum foreign participation or ownership permitted in facility-based and spectrum-based operators as well as in Internet
Service Providers (ISPs) (as a percentage). (International Telecommunication
Union)

Glossary
GDP growth is the annual percentage growth rate of gross domestic product (GDP) at market prices based on constant local currency. Aggregates
are based on constant 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 making 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 computer refers to the percentage of households with
a computer at home. A computer includes: a desktop, portable or handheld
computer (e.g. a personal digital assistant). It does not include equipment
with some embedded computing abilities such as mobile phones or TV sets.
(International Telecommunication Union)
Households with Internet access at home refers to the percentage of households with Internet access at home. Access is not assumed to be only via a
computerit may also be by mobile phone, games machine, digital TV etc.
(International Telecommunication Union)
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, audio and video, computer and
related equipment; electronic components; and other information and communication technology goods. Software is excluded. Re-exports (exports of
foreign goods in the same state as previously imported) are included. (United
Nations Conference on Trade and Development)

236

2012

The Little Data Book on Information and Communication Technology

Glossary
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-related service transactions). (International Monetary Fund)
International Internet bandwidth refers to the total used capacity of international Internet bandwidth, in megabits per second (Mbit/s). It is measured
as the sum of used capacity of all Internet exchanges (locations where
Internet traffic is exchanged) offering international bandwidth. If capacity is
asymmetric (i.e. more incoming (downlink) than outgoing (uplink) capacity),
then the incoming (downlink) capacity should be provided. (International
Telecommunication Union)
International voice traffic, total is the sum of international incoming and outgoing telephone fixed and mobile telephone traffic (in minutes). (International
Telecommunication Union)
Individuals using the Internet refers to the percentage of individuals who
have used the Internet (from any location) in the last 12 months. Internet
can be used via a computer, mobile phone, personal digital assistant, games
machine, digital TV etc. (International Telecommunication Union)
Level of competition, international gateway, is the level of competition for
international gateway(s). International gateway is any facility that provides
an interface to send and receive electronic communications (i.e., voice,
data and multimedia images/video) traffic between one countrys domestic
network facilities and those in another country. (M = monopoly, P = partial
competition, C = full competition). (International Telecommunication Union)
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)
Level of competition, mobile telephony service, is the level of competition
for digital cellular mobile services (M = monopoly, P = partial competition,
C = full competition). (International Telecommunication Union)
Mobile cellular and fixed-telephone subscriptions per employee are telephone subscribers (fixed-telephone plus mobile) divided by the total number
of telecommunications employees. (International Telecommunication Union)
Mobile-cellular telephone subscriptions refers to the number of subscriptions
to a public mobile-telephone service that provide access to the PSTN using
cellular technology. The indicator includes (and is split into) the number of
postpaid subscriptions, and the number of active prepaid accounts (i.e. that
have been used during the last three months). The indicator applies to all
mobile-cellular subscriptions that offer voice communications. It excludes
subscriptions via data cards or USB modems, subscriptions to public mobile
data services, private trunked mobile radio, telepoint, radio paging and
telemetry services. (International Telecommunication Union)

Glossary
Mobile-cellular sub-basket refers to the price of a standard basket of mobile
monthly usage for 30 outgoing calls per month (on-net, off-net, to a fixed
line and for peak and off-peak times) in predetermined ratios, plus 100SMS
messages. The mobile-cellular sub-basket is based on prepaid tariffs although
post-paid tariffs may be used for countries where prepaid subscriptions
make up less than three per cent of all mobile-cellular subscriptions. The
mobile-cellular prepaid sub-basket is largely based, but does not entirely
follow, the 2009 methodology of the OECD low-user basket. (International
Telecommunication Union)
Population is based on the de facto definition of population, which counts
all residents regardless of legal status or citizenship, except for refugees
not permanently settled in the country of asylum, who are generally considered part of the population of their country of origin. Data are midyear
estimates. (World Bank)
Population covered by a mobile-cellular network refers to the percentage of
people within range of a mobile-cellular signal, irrespective of whether they
are subscribers or users or not. This is calculated by dividing the number of
people within range of a mobile-cellular signal by the total population and
multiplying by 100. (International Telecommunication Union)
Regulatory treatment of VoIP indicates whether the country has any regulatory treatment on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), a generic term to
describe the techniques used to carry voice traffic over IP. The status are
categorized as banned, closed, no framework, or allowed. Closed means
that wholesale VoIP is permitted, but retail VoIP is banned, as well as cases
where only the incumbent is licensed to provide VoIP. (B = banned, C =closed,
No = no framework, A = allowed) (International Telecommunication Union)
Secure Internet servers are the number of servers using encryption technology for Internet transactions. Data listed for 2010 are for December 2011.
(Netcraft)
Separate telecommunications/ICT regulator indicates whether the country
