ICT
statistics and indicators are crucial for formulating
policies and strategies concerning ICT-driven or ICT-enabled
growth, for social inclusion and cohesion, and for
monitoring and evaluating ICT-related economic and
social developments. They help companies take the

the impact of different technologies in achieving
internationally agreed goals such as the Millennium
Development Goals (MDG). more...
