The indicators are selected to best represent and measure the dimension, based on internationally-recognized indicators for measuring ICT (http://unstats.un.org/unsd/statcom/doc09/BG-ICTIndicators.pdf). This core indicator set was developed in consultation with ICT ministries and national statistics offices in many countries. The selection is also subject to the availability of country-level data from international organizations, supplemented by World Bank staff calculation based on official national sources.
