The Little Data Book on Information and Communication Technology
Preface In the last 10 years developing countries have experienced a revolution in information and communication technology. Most countries now have more than one telecommunications operator, and in many countries more than three companies compete to provide telecommunications services. This competition has resulted in high levels of investment, rapid growth of networks, and a downward trend in prices. Today, more than half of the world’s population lives within reach of communication networks—and the share is rising. This rapid increase in the availability of communication services has broad implications. Research shows that investment in information and communication technology can boost economic growth and the productivity of firms of all sizes in countries across the range of income levels. The sector is an increasingly important source of investment and tax revenue, particularly in low-income countries. It also has a direct impact on people’s lives, allowing family members to maintain contact with each other and providing improved services in health and education. The Little Data Book on Information and Communication Technology charts the progress of this revolution for 208 countries around the world. It provides comparable statistics on the sector for 2000 and 2005, across a range of indicators, enabling readers to readily compare countries. This guide includes indicators covering the economic and social context, the structure of the information and communication technology sector, and sector performance related to access, quality, affordability, institutional efficiency, and applications. The Glossary contains definitions of the terms used in the tables.

Data notes The data in this book are for 2000 and 2005 or the most recent year unless otherwise noted in 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.
•
Figures in 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. In keeping with World Development Indicators 2007, this edition of The Little Data Book on Information and Communication Technology uses terminology in line with the 1993 System of National Accounts (SNA). In particular, gross national product (GNP) is replaced by gross national income (GNI).

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 is classified as low income, middle income (subdivided into lower middle and upper middle), 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 $875 or less in 2005. Middle-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of more than $875 but less than $10,726. Lower-middle-income and upper-middle-income economies are separated at a GNI per capita of $3,465. High-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of $10,726 or more. The aggregate Europe EMU includes the member states of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) of the European Union that have adopted the euro as their currency: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, and Spain.
