5 Foreword I am pleased to present to you the 2014 edition of the Measuring the Information Society Report. Now in its sixth year, this annual report identifies key information and communication technology (ICT) developments and tracks the cost and affordability of ICT services, in accordance with internationally agreed methodologies. Its core feature is the ICT Development Index (IDI), which ranks countries performance with regard to ICT infrastructure, use and skills. The report aims to provide an objective international performance evaluation based on quantitative indicators and benchmarks, as an essential input to the ICT policy debate in ITU Member States. Over the past year, the world witnessed continued growth in the uptake of ICT and, by end 2014, almost 3 billion people will be using the Internet, up from 2.7 billion at end While the growth in mobile-cellular subscriptions is slowing as the market reaches saturation levels, mobile broadband remains the fastest growing market segment, with continuous double-digit growth rates in 2014 and an estimated global penetration rate of 32 per cent four times the penetration rate recorded just five years earlier. International bandwidth has also grown steeply, at 45 per cent annually between 2001 and 2013, and the developing countries share of total international bandwidth increased from around 9 per cent in 2004 to almost 30 per cent in Overall, almost all of the 166 countries included in the IDI improved their values in the last year. Despite this encouraging progress, there are important digital divides that need to be addressed: 4.3 billion people are still not online, and 90 per cent of them live in the developing world. Fixedbroadband penetration stands at 6 per cent in developing countries, compared with 27.5 per cent in developed countries, and growth rates are slowing. Mobile broadband is growing fast, but the difference between developed and developing regions remains large, with 84 per cent penetration in the former as against 21 per cent in the latter. Increasing ICT uptake in the world s least connected countries (LCCs), which are home to some 2.5 billion people, should therefore be the policy focus for the years to come. In these countries, the share of population living in rural areas is often high, reinforcing the urban-rural digital divide. As this report finds, ICT performance is better in countries with higher shares of the population living in urban areas, where access to ICT infrastructure, usage and skills is more favourable. Yet it is precisely in poor and rural areas where ICTs can make a particularly significant impact. New analysis featured in this report shows that many of the indicators of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) show significant correlation with the IDI, notably those related to poverty reduction and health improvement. Furthermore, the report finds that progress in ICT development is linked to progress in achieving some of the MDGs, yet another testimony to the role of ICT as a development enabler. One reason for the limited uptake of ICT in the developing world is the price of the service, which is often unaffordable for poor segments of the population. While the prices of fixed and mobile services continue to decrease globally, in most developing countries the cost of a fixed-broadband plan represents more than 5 per cent of GNI per capita, and mobile broadband is six times more affordable in developed countries than in developing countries. Income inequalities within countries are one of the reasons why broadband in particular fixed broadband remains unaffordable to large segments of the population. The report finds that in 40 per cent of countries a basic fixed-broadband iii
6 subscription still represents more than 5 per cent of household income for over half of the population. For these income groups, mobile broadband may be the affordable alternative. An enabling telecommunication regulatory environment can significantly influence the affordability of services. The report finds that the price of ICT services falls with better market regulation and increased competition. For example, in developing countries, fixed-broadband prices could be reduced by 10 per cent and mobile-cellular prices by 5 per cent if competition and/or the regulatory framework improved. International regulatory best practices, such as the ones adopted by the ITU Global Symposium for Regulators (GSR), may serve as a guideline for effective regulatory frameworks which can lay the foundations for affordable fixed-broadband services. In this fast-changing digital era, one of the key challenges in measuring the information society is the lack of up-to-date data, in particular in developing countries. ITU is joining the international statistical community in looking into ways of using new and emerging data sources such as those associated with big data to better provide timely and relevant evidence for policy-making. Calls for a data revolution are prominent in the international debates around the post-2015 development agenda, and ICTs have an important role to play in view of their capacity to produce, store and analyse huge amounts of data, as well as being a major source of big data in their own right. Big data from mobile operators, for example, are real-time and low-cost and have one of the greatest development potentials in view of the widespread use and availability of mobile networks and services. This report provides the reader with a comprehensive and critical overview of the role of big data from the telecommunication sector, for use in social and economic development policy and for monitoring the future information society. I trust that the data and analysis contained in this report will be of great value to the ITU membership, including policy-makers, the ICT industry and others working towards building an inclusive global information society.

19 Measuring the Information Society Report 2014 Chapter 1. Recent information society developments 1.1 Introduction The past year has been characterized by uninterrupted growth in the spread of information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure and in ICT uptake by citizens and public and private organizations. While the global mobile-cellular market is approaching saturation levels, mobile-broadband uptake continues to grow at double-digit rates in all regions, and mobile broadband remains the strongest growing market segment. This trend is accompanied by a slowdown in fixed-broadband uptake in the developing world, where mobilebroadband services provide a response to the demand for high-speed Internet access in view of the lack of affordable fixed-broadband services, whereas in the developed world both fixed- and mobile-broadband uptake is growing continuously. The data also show a continuous increase in Internet usage, with growth in the number of Internet users in all countries and increasing availability of online content, much of which is user-created through social media applications and platforms (e.g. Twitter, YouTube, WhatsApp). With more and more applications now available through mobile platforms (mobile apps), and the strong growth in mobile Internet uptake, an increasing number of people are joining, and participating actively in, the information society. While the information society is growing worldwide, digital divides remain and are even widening in some segments. In particular, there is a significant and persistent urban-rural digital divide, whereby urban citizens enjoy ubiquitous mobile network coverage, affordable high-speed Internet services and the higher levels of skills required to make effective use of online content and services, while the opposite is often the case in rural and remote areas of many developing countries. This chapter will present and discuss key indicators for monitoring the global information society. It will first look at the uptake of ICT infrastructure and services, covering the fixed and mobile (voice and data) market segments, and considering both subscriptions and household access data. This will be followed by a presentation of the latest trends in terms of investment and revenue in the telecom sector. Then, a number of key indicators will be presented concerning ICT uptake by individuals, businesses and public organizations (from the government and education sectors), as 1
20 Chapter 1. Recent information society developments well as growth in online content and particularly social media. The final part of the chapter will discuss emerging issues related to informationsociety measurements, in particular in the context of the post-2015 development debate and the WSIS+10 review, the demand for a data revolution, and the role of big data for ICT monitoring. 1.2 The voice market In line with developments in recent years, fixed telephony is on the decline in all regions of the world (Chart 1.1). Worldwide, there are only around a dozen countries where fixed-telephone uptake has actually increased over the past year. 1 Fixed-telephone penetration decreased by about 2 per cent globally in the past year, and will drop to its lowest level in 14 years lower than at the turn of the century with an estimated 1.1 billion subscriptions by end The decrease is stronger in developed countries (2.4 per cent) than developing countries (1 per cent), and strongest in the Americas region (2.6 per cent), followed by Asia and the Pacific (2 per cent). The decline in fixed-telephone subscriptions over the past decade was accompanied by strong growth in the mobile-cellular market until 2010, at which point mobile-cellular growth rates dropped to single digits, and they have continued to slow down since then. In 2014, global growth in mobile penetration will be at a ten-year low of 2.6 per cent, as the market reaches saturation levels, in particular in developed countries where penetration will reach 121 per cent (Chart 1.2). By end 2014, there will be almost as many mobile-cellular subscriptions (6.9 billion) as people on Earth, more than three quarters of them (5.4 billion) in the developing world and more than half (3.6 billion) in the Asia-Pacific region. While this does not mean that everyone has a mobile phone since many people have more than one subscription or SIM card the total numbers and growth rates strongly point to market saturation. Whether this will change in the near future, and whether growth will pick up again, will depend among other things on the types of service plans that will be offered in national markets and their uptake by individuals. Looking at the six world regions, Africa and Asia and the Pacific are the regions with the strongest mobile-cellular growth, and the lowest penetration rates, which will reach 69 per cent and 89 per cent, respectively, by end Chart 1.1: Fixed-telephone subscriptions by level of development, (left) and by region, 2014* (right) Per 100 inhabitants Note: Source: 2005 Developed World Developing LDCs *Estimate.

ITU World Telecommunication/ICT Indicators database. Developing LDCs * Per 100 inhabitants CIS Penetration rates in the CIS countries, Arab States, Americas and Europe have attained levels above 100 per cent since 2012 and are expected to grow at less than 2 per cent in The above numbers suggest that, globally speaking, the voice market is reaching saturation: the fixed-telephone market is shrinking and the mobile-cellular market is tapering off. In addition, mobile-cellular population coverage has reached 93 per cent globally: in other words, almost every person on the globe lives within reach of a mobile-cellular signal and, at least theoretically, has access to mobile communication services. Closer examination and disaggregation of the data reveal, however, that digital divides still exist and that some people are still excluded from access to communication networks. First, there are populations living in rural areas that are not covered by a mobile-cellular signal (Table 1.1). Even though rural population coverage is very high, at 87 per cent globally, at end 2012 around 450 million people worldwide still lived out of reach of a mobile signal. Second, high mobile-cellular penetration does not imply that everyone owns or is using a mobile phone. For countries where data are available, the number of mobile subscriptions far exceeds the number of mobile phone users (Partnership, 2014). No regular pattern can be established, though, and the difference between mobile-phone user penetration and mobile-cellular subscription penetration ranges between 8 per cent (France) and 111 per cent (Panama) across countries. According to GSMA estimates, unique mobile subscribers account for about half of mobilecellular subscriptions, which would translate into a penetration rate of around 48 per cent globally, 63 per cent in developed countries, 45 per cent in developing countries and 30 per cent in least developed countries (LDCs). 2 Third, household access to a telephone is still not the norm in many developing countries, in particular in LDCs (Partnership, 2014). For example, according to the latest population and housing census carried out in India in 2011, 63 per cent of households had a telephone (up from 9 per cent ten years earlier). In addition, there were significant differences between urban and rural areas, with 82 per cent of Indian urban households having access to a telephone compared with 54 per cent of rural households. 3 Household telephone penetration in Malawi stood at 36 per cent in per cent in urban households 3
