Introduction

1.1
Emergence of the "e-Economy" has opened
up a new wave of demand for information and
communication technology (ICT) goods and
services. Businesses taking advantage of the new
technology come forth to capture the opportunities
brought about by this emerging market. New
economic activities take form, while many existing
companies re-orientate their business strategies to
capitalise on these new opportunities.

during the period of 2004 to 2014. As from
January 2007, the coverage of telecommunications
equipment has been revised and the trade figures as
from 2007 are not strictly comparable with those in
previous years.

Figures include the number of exchange lines and subscribers of Internet Protocol service.
Estimated figures based on the return from the Internet service providers (ISPs) and do not include users who are not customers
of the licensed ISPs.
Figures are available as from 2005.
The International Internet Bandwidth refers to the equipped capacity of the external circuits.
Monthly subscription provided service of 100-hour online time. In addition to the monthly subscription fee, a charge of
HK$1.2/hour was imposed on Internet access.
There has been a downward trend in the access tariff of broadband services between 2008 and 2012. It is mainly attributable to the
fact that service providers attracted new subscribers of broadband services by offering preferential tariff. The tariff level in 2013
mainly reflects the enhancement of the quality of broadband services offered in terms of speed (the service providers mainly offered
broadband services of 10Mbps in 2008. From 2010 onward, service providers have gradually offered customers with broadband
services of 100Mbps or above).
Figures indicate the availability of public Internet access in 18 District Council districts only.
Revised figures.

The coverage of industries in the business sector is based on the Hong Kong Standard Industrial Classification Version 2.0 which
has been adopted since 2008. Figures for the years of 2008 or before did not cover: sewerage, waste collection, treatment and
disposal activities, materials recovery and remediation activities and other waste management services. Nevertheless, those
industries had only slight effect on the overall figures.
Figures on GDP refer to the latest statistics released in May 2015.
Figure is subject to revision later on.
