 Measuring
the Information Society 2010 NEW
The latest edition of Measuring the Information
Society features the new ITU ICT Development Index (IDI) and the ICT Price
Basket - two benchmarking tools to measure the Information Society. The IDI captures the level
of advancement of ICTs in 159 countries worldwide and compares
progress made between 2002 and 2008. It also measures the global digital divide
and examines how it has developed in recent years. The report also features the
latest ICT Price Basket, which combines 2009 fixed telephone, mobile cellular and
fixed broadband tariffs for 161 economies into one measure and compares these across countries,
and over time. The analytical report is
complemented by a series of statistical tables providing country-level data for
all indicators included in the Index.
