The Little Data Book on Information and Communication Technology
Preface
Since the late 1990s access to information and communication technologies
(ICTs) has seen tremendous growth—driven 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 2013, there will be an estimated 6.8 billion mobile-cellular subscriptions
globally. The number of individuals using the Internet has risen constantly
and will reach an estimated 2.7 billion while the number of fixed (wired)broadband subscriptions will reach almost 700 million at the end of 2013.
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 2013
illustrates the progress of this revolution for 214 economies around the
world. It provides comparable statistics on the sector for 2005 and 2011
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.

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 ITU’s Web site at

Data notes
The data in this book are for 2005 and 2011 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.
Lettered notes on some country tables can be found in the notes on
page 232.
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 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. Note: Classifications are
fixed during the World Bank’s 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 $1,025 or less
in 2011.
Middle-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of more than
$1,025 but less than $12,476. Lower-middle-income and upper-middleincome economies are separated at a GNI per capita of $4,035.
High-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of $12,476 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, the 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)
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)
Fixed-broadband sub-basket refers to the price of the monthly subscription to an entry-level fixed broadband plan. For comparability reasons, the
fixed broadband sub-basket is based on a monthly usage of (a minimum of)
1 gigabyte (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 256 kbit/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
30 local 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 analog
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 refers to the allowance of foreign participation or ownership in facility-based and spectrum-based operators as well as in Internet
Service Providers (ISPs). (No = not allowed, R = allowed with restrictions,
A = allowed without restrictions) (International Telecommunication Union)
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

Glossary
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
computer—it 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)
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)

Glossary
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)
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)
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 country’s 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)
