Abstract

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.


The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Telecommunications and Internet Statistics covers provides time series of telecommunications and economic indicators such as network dimension, revenues, investment and employment for OECD countries from 1980 onwards. These data allows evaluation of policy performance in this sector across the OECD region.

The OECD Telecommunications and Internet Statistics is made up of the Telecommunications Database and Broadband database.

The Telecommunications Database provides both telecommunication and economic time-series data covering thirty OECD Member countries from 1980 onwards. The broadband database on information and communication technology (ICT) contains indicators on wireless and fixed broadband usage, access and diffusion to OECD households, individuals and businesses.

These data were first provided by the UK Data Service in March 2015.
