Abstract

ICT stands for “Information and Communication Technology”. ICT penetration is the extent to which the population of a particular place use ICT enabled devices. The objective of this paper is to assess the ICT penetration in global perspective on the basis of two parameters termed as tele-density and internet density. Higher subscriptions of ‘active mobile-broadband subscriptions’, lower gap between male and female internet users, greater CAGR in female internet users are indicator of greater ICT penetration, empowerment of women and better gender parity across the world.
