THE ICT INDUSTRY SITUATION IN UKRAINE AND WORLD

Abstract. The article examines the current state and position in the ratings of the countries of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) of Ukraine and the world. To analyse the situation in the ICT industry in Ukraine, statistical data from reports of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Statista, Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) for the period from 2005 to 2020 were used. The ICT Development Index (IDI), developed by ITU specialists, provides an assessment of the information and communication technologies development level in individual countries and allows comparing situation in different countries. The place occupied by Ukraine in the ranking of countries according to the IDI is a key benchmark of the strategy for the development of the information society in Ukraine. Further growth of the ICT sector is observed in the modernization of its infrastructure, increasing and spreading computer literacy of the population, ensuring its interest in the demand for industry services and increasing entrepreneurial activity. The development and widespread use of ICT is determined by the global trend of world development and is of decisive importance for increasing the economy competitiveness, expanding the possibilities of its integration into the world economic system, increasing the efficiency of public administration and local self-government. There are currently no alternatives to the development of the information society. In recent years, ICT has become an effective tool in economic relations arising in the process of production, distribution, exchange and consumption of goods between economic entities. The widespread introduction of information technology into the economic activity of society provokes the deepest infrastructural changes on the scale of the entire global economic space. Today, most countries strive to form an information society today, and the most priority areas of development are the creation of e-government, the introduction of information technologies in education, culture and healthcare.

Keywords: Information Communication Technology, broadband, mobile broadband, International Telecommunication Union, ICT Development Index.
