Telecommunication Development Sector (ITU-D)
The role of the Telecommunication Development Sector (ITU-D) is to facilitate and enhance telecommunication development through advice and direct technical assistance. Sector activities range from policy and regulatory advice, advice on the financing of telecommunications and on low-cost technology options, assistance in human resource management, and the development of initiatives targeting rural development and universal access. Throughout all these activities the Telecommunication Development Sector and its executive arm, the Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT), maintain a strong emphasis on brokering partnerships with the private sector, with a view to harnessing the commercial drive of industry to the needs of developing nations. |

Publication Notice with Order Form
The 2011 edition of Measuring the Information Society features two benchmarking tools to measure the information society: the ICT Development Index (IDI) and the ICT Price Basket (IPB). The IDI captures the level of ICT developments in around 150 economies worldwide and compares progress made during the past two years. The IPB combines fixed telephone, mobile cellular and fixed broadband tariffs for around 160 economies into one measure and compares these across countries and over time. The Report also presents the latest global market trends, takes a closer look at fixed and mobile broadband developments and analyses the digital divide among Internet users. The analytical report is complemented by a series of statistical tables providing country-level data for the indicators included in the two indices. |
