The World Telecommunication Indicators Database, launched by ITU, contains time series data for the years 1960, 1965, 1970 and annually from 1975-2007 for around 80 sets of telecommunication statistics and is categorized into telephone network size and dimension, mobile services, quality of service, traffic, staff, tariffs, revenue and investment. Selected demographic, macroeconomic, broadcasting and information technology statistics are also included. The database encompasses data for over 200 economies.  It can be purchased either in CD-ROM or in printed version. The ITU database is updated and revised approximately every three months.

International Telecommunications Union (ITU): World Telecommunication Indicators Database (12th edition 2008)

The World Telecommunication Indicators Database is one of the various data sources that have been used in IFs system for analyzing the size of the Information Communications Technology (ICT) sector in economies. The World Telecommunication Indicators Database, launched by ITU, contains time series data for the years 1960, 1965, 1970 and annually from 1975-2007 for around 80 sets of telecommunication statistics and is categorized into telephone network size and dimension, mobile services, quality of service, traffic, staff, tariffs, revenue and investment. Selected demographic, macroeconomic, broadcasting and information technology statistics are also included. The database encompasses data for over 200 economies.  It can be purchased either in CD-ROM or in printed version. The ITU database is updated and revised approximately every three months. Detailed information about World Telecommunication Indicators is available at http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/ict/publications/world/world.html

There are a total of 105 series with that begin with ICT; the majority of the series come from ITU (104), and World Bank (1). The series were updated in the first quarter of 2015 or earlier and need updating. I have attached an ITU.xlsx file.


The The World Telecommunication/ICT Indicators Database was discontinued in 2024. All the data is now available free of charge on ITU DataHub. As of right now, SeriesHouseholds and SeriesICTCYBICTDevelopmentIndexITU are not available on this new platform. For ICTCYBICTDevelopmentIndexITU, the ICT Development Index (IDI) was discontinued in 2018, owing to issues of data availability and quality.

Instructions on pulling ITU data

Step 1: Go to https://datahub.itu.int/indicators/ and choose the indicators that you need.

Step 2: Download the data by clicking download all indicators (csv).

Step 3: Sort the data into a format that can be imported into IFs by adding the ITU country concordance. Also sort data by seriesID and seriesCode to ensure the right data. In the DataDict the Source in Code goes like seriesID_seriesCode.

Issues to note

Kosovo and Korea, Democratic Republic are not covered in the ICTBroadbandSubscribersPer100ITU series. 

Kosovo is not covered in the three series.

Inconsistency: There have been variations in the appearance of zeros and nulls for SeriesICTBroadbandSubscribersPer100ITU. The current dataset has nulls, leading to the removal of zeros in the current update for SeriesICTBroadbandSubscribersPer100ITU.
