The Little Data Book on Information and Communication Technology

Preface Since the late 1990s access to information and communication technologies (ICTs) has seen tremendous growthâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;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 . In 2016, there were more than 7 .3 billion mobile-cellular subscriptions worldwide . Globally, 3 .5 billion people were using the Internet, of which 2 .5 billion were from developing countries . Mobile-broadband subscriptions have risen constantly to reach 3 .6 billion, while the number of fixed-broadband subscriptions reached more than 884 million during the same period . 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 2017 illustrates the progress of this revolution for 217 economies around the world . It provides comparable statistics on the sector for 2005 and 2015 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 ITUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Web site at www .itu .int/en/ITU-D/Statistics/Pages/default .aspx and the ITU ICT Eye at www .itu .int/icteye .

Data notes The data in this book are for 2010 and 2015 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 . • 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 .

Lettered notes on some country tables can be found in the notes on page 235 . 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 . Aggregates for groups of economies are based on the World Bank’s regional and income classifications, and may differ from those published by the ITU . Because of missing data, aggregates should be treated as approximations of unknown totals or average values . The aggregation method for each indicator is noted in the glossary . Sums (s) are simple totals of available data . Weighted averages (w) are calculated using the value of the denominator or, in some cases, another indicator as the weight . Median (m) calculations are based on available data and exclude economies with populations below 1 million . For more information about aggregation methods visit datahelpdesk .worldbank .org . The cutoff date for data is June 18, 2016 .

Income group tables For operational and analytical purposes the World Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 . Note: Classifications are fixed during the World Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 2015 . Lower middle-income economies are those with a GNI per capita between $1,026 and $4,035 . Upper middle-income economies are those with a GNI per capita between $4,036 and $12,475 . High-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of $12,476 or more .

Data listed for 2015 are for 2014 . (International Telecommunication Union) (w) 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 GB, 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) (m) Fixed-broadband subscriptions refers to fixed 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, fiber-to-the-home/building, other fixed (wired)-broadband subscriptions, satellite broadband, and terrestrial fixed wireless broadband . 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 should include fixed WiMAX and any other fixed wireless technologies . It includes both residential subscriptions and subscriptions for organization (International Telecommunication Union) (w) Fixed-telephone subscriptions refers to the sum of active number of analog fixed-telephone lines, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) subscriptions, fixed wireless local loop (WLL) subscriptions, ISDN voice-channel equivalents, and fixed public payphones .

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) (w) Gross primary, secondary, and tertiary school 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 .

Used international Internet bandwidth refers to the average traffic load (expressed in Mbit/s) of international fiber-optic cables and radio links for carrying Internet traffic . The average should be calculated over the 12-month period of the reference year, and should take into consideration the traffic of all international Internet links . If the traffic is asymmetric (i .e ., more incoming [downlink] than outgoing [uplink] traffic), then the average incoming (downlink) traffic load should be provided . The combined average traffic load of different international Internet links can be reported as the addition of the average traffic load of each link .
