These services include, but are not limited to, the World Wide Web (WWW), email and extranet. Web/World Wide Web (WWW) A system of Internet servers that support specially formatted documents.

The table presented above has had scope differences due to size removed (with the exception of Canada and Japan). Users should note that statistics on ICT use may differ because of differences in the composition of businesses between countries.
