(Chronological time series 1993-2002)

The statistical data have been collected and processed by the Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT) from replies received to ITU questionnaires sent to telecommunication ministries, regulators and operating companies. As such, the ITU Yearbook of Statistics provides the most authoritative source of data about the evolution of the public telecommunication sector available anywhere. The main features of this edition are:
·	Presentation of data in country tables allowing readers to view the evolution of telecommunication services in a country. Statistics are provided for the ten-year period 1993-2002. The list of statistics contained in the Yearbook and the country coverage is shown below.
·	Inclusion of selected television broadcasting and information technology time series to provide a wider picture of a country’s communication sector.
·	The Yearbook is also available in electronic form in Adobe Acrobat (PDF). The data shown in the Yearbook are also contained in the “ITU World Telecommunication Indicators Database” available in the WIN*STARS (Socio-economic Time series Access and Retrieval System) data retrieval format. It has sophisticated features including mapping and charting, a choice of data selection techniques, versatile display options and several data export formats (Access, ASCII, dBASE, Excel and SAS). The software only operates on IBM PC compatible computers.
