Telecommunication statistics for effective regulation Stakeholders Workshop on Information Sharing within the Telecom Industry Lagos, Nigeria March 2nd, 2004 Telecommunication statistics for effective regulation Vanessa.Gray@itu.int Market, Economics, Finance Unit Telecommunication Development Bureau International Telecommunication Union

To be discussed… Global liberalization and regulation trends Why regulators need to collect market statistics Data groups and types Data methodology Data source: operators and surveys Best Practices UK (Ofcom), Hong Kong, China (OFTA) Africa: Uganda (UCC), Ivory Coast (ATC) Regional cooperation (ECOWAS) and data collection tools

With liberalization comes regulation % Number of regulatory agencies, global Establishment of NCC, 1992 Source: ITU Source: ITU

Monitoring license requirements “The Ministry of Communications shall formulate policies on universal access, including specific targets to be achieved over a given period of time. The NCC is responsible for…defining development targets and other ..goals for national communications access” Source: Nigeria National Policy on Telecommunications, Chapter 9

Nigerian Communications Act 2003 Part II: Monitoring and reporting (section 89) (1) The Commission shall monitor all significant matters relating to the performance of all licensees … (2) (a) use any of its powers…without limitations…of investigation and information-gathering… (b) have regard to such industry performance indicators as the Commission considers appropriate (3)…the Commission shall monitor and report..: (b) the efficiency in which licensees provide facilities and services…(c) the quality of services, …(d) industry statistics generally including but not limited to service provisioning, traffic pattern, industry operators, etc The license agreements also discuss “Requirement to Furnish Information to the Commission”

Telecommunication data categories Network subscribers (fixed, mobile etc) Quality of service Traffic Tariffs Revenue/Investment Click to view ITU Top 50 ICT/Telecom Indicators

Quarterly mobile data Revenue Volume Subscribers Calls Connection SSM+MMS Interconnection Revenue per subscriber (ARPU) UK calls Outgoing intern. Roaming SSM+MMS (units) Postpaid/prepaid Growth rate/change By operator/consolidated

Quarterly fixed data Local calls National calls Calls to mobiles Market share (%) Local calls National calls Calls to mobiles Absolute numbers Revenue shares are considerably higher than volume shares 12’737 millions of minutes 6’373 millions of minutes 2’284 millions of minutes 233 £ millions 169 £ millions 290 £ millions

Regularity, timeliness, definitions OFTA collects (and publishes online!) detailed monthly telecommunication statistics since 1990 Indicators are well defined “Broadband Internet access refers to services with downloading speed of 1 Mbps or above using cable mode, ATM, ADSL, DSL or other technologies” “The statistics are OFTA estimated figures based on the return from the ISPs. They do not include users who are not customers of the licensed ISP, such as users of the campus networks in the universities” Broadband replacing dial-up

International comparability

Data collection and methodology Avoid information overload Close coordination between regulator and operators (optimal information supply) Data should be clearly defined Information needs to be consistent and comparable, in type, in form and in timeliness Ideally statistics are collected monthly and basic statistics (fixed lines/mobile subscribers/Internet subscribers/traffic) should be collected and disseminated no less than on a quarterly basis Consider international efforts to collect/harmonize ICT/Telecom statistics for maximum comparability (ITU)

Universal service & universal access Both per capita and universal service (household level) measurements have limits Developing countries should strive to achieve universal access Availability of a service Percentage of the population that is covered by a mobile cellular signal Community measurements help evaluate availability of services in localities (cities, towns, villages) Universal access: 94% Universal service: 42.4%

Administrative data versus surveys Regulators can collect data through administrative records (regular data supply from operators) or through surveys In certain areas administrative data needs to be complemented by surveys: Internet usage (as opposed to subscription!) ICT availability in households (PCs, Internet, etc) Consumer satisfaction, household telecom expenditure Collaboration with National Statistical Office is crucial in carrying out surveys!

International benchmarking: ITU’s Digital Access Index (DAI) The Index classifies 178 countries according to their ability to access Information and Communication Technologies. Maximum score: 1 Minimum score: 0 DAI is based on 8 indicators that are grouped into 5 categories: infrastructure, affordability, usage, quality, and knowledge Source: ITU

ITU-ECOWAS data collection project To collect telecom market data of ECOWAS countries from telecom operators To present and analyze the data in the form adapted to different user groups A tool used for business decisions and growth analysis for operators A tool to monitor market developments for regulators An information tool to telecom users and investors

Collect, disseminate, analyze An effective and dynamic tool for analysis of telecommunication developments that benefits operators, regulators and the general public Data is analyzed and presented in various formats Operators receive benchmarks online Data is received at ITU server Operators provide data in user-friendly format Data is analyzed locally by operators to monitor trends

Who gets what Operators have access to national and regional telecommunication trends Track market position and potential International benchmarking exercises Regulators receive (national & regional) overview Identify trends and benchmark results Make informed policy decisions Make regional/international comparisons Public is informed on trends and services Investors identify new market opportunities ITU fulfills its commitment with regard to bridging the digital divide

Project implementation Preparation of draft system structure and data formats (ITU) Operators and regulators to discuss and decide form and processes at a workshop (date and venue to be confirmed) Adjustment of project based on feedback Software development (ITU) and pilot testing is launched System becomes operational For information on ITU-ECOWAS data collection project contact: Mr. Seydoux BASSAVE, at Bassave@itu.int

ITU statistical work in Africa In June the ITU will organize an ICT indicators workshop for the Southern African Development Community (SADC) in Botswana* for regulators and national statistical offices In May - and on time for Africa Telecom - ITU will publish the African Telecommunication Indicators For further information, visit: www.itu.int/ict Thank you Vanessa.Gray@itu.int * Both, venue and date, are provisional
