CERTAIN TELECOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY FOR SPECIFIC COUNTRIES DEVELOPMENT LEVEL DETERMINATION RESULTS

This article discusses research development of ICT sector in the world. Determining the level of development of a particular technology for a particular country is carried out by evaluation of statistical data on its use by the method of cluster analysis [3,4]. If the value of the technology is known for a set of countries , we can talk about the possibility of classifying them in terms of development of this technology. For this analysis, we used the official data on the number of users of different types of communication in 53 countries for the period from 2000 to 2012 . Data were taken from the site of the International Telecommunication Union [6] Studied data on the number of connections using : fixed wired broadband connection (T1) , fixed telephony (T2) , mobile communications ( T3) Internet ( T4). The result of applying cluster analysis will be the formation of several groups (clusters) of objects that are "similar" on a few selected indicators or integrated indicator.
