DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/47c98d/digital_planet_201) has announced the addition of the "Digital Planet 2010" report to their offering.
The world is a much-changed place in the two years since the 2008 release of Digital Planet. Back then, information and communications technology (ICT) spending was expected to enter a period of moderating growth, indicative of its continuing maturity as an industry sector. Instead, the Great Recession fostered a decline of 3.0% in global ICT spending in 2009, thereby resetting the industry growth trajectory to one that will take until beyond 2013 to fully recover.
Digital Planet 2010 continues the global ICT expansion story begun in Digital Planet 1998 and updated in 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008. Here, in a single comprehensive volume, covering the worlds 75 largest ICT buying nations and regions, is the fact-based tale of the digital revolution. WITSA publishes this guide to help policy makers, technology developers and the general public understand the ICT trends reshaping society today, from the global marketplace to the local classroom.
Digital Planet 2010 brings current the 2008 version of this book. Continuing the breadth of coverage and comprehensive data of ICT spending in over 10 vertical market segments, this edition also differs from earlier works in a number of important ways:
- Detailed data are available on 75 countries as opposed to 70 in the past
- Forecast data extends through 2013 versus 2011 in the last printed edition
