(ITU). 2009. World Telecommunication Indicators 2008. Geneva: ITU. Available online at http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/ict/publications/world/world.html." Technical Notes "Definition:" "Radios per 1000 people is the number of radio receivers, per thousand people, used for broadcast to the general public. Private sets installed in public places are also included as well as communal receivers. " "" "Years Covered and Frequency of Update:" "Data are available for 1970 and 1975 to 2006. Most of the 208 countries in the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) dataset are available. The ITU updates their Telecommunication indicators every three months. The most recent updates incorporated by WRI are from June, 2007." "" "Methodology:" "Telecommunication data are supplied by annual questionnaires sent to telecommunication authorities and operating companies. These data are supplemented by annual reports and statistical yearbooks of telecommunication ministries, regulators, operators and industry associations. In some cases, estimates are derived from ITU background documents or other references. ITU relies heavily on UNESCO Institute for Statistics for estimates on number of radios." "" "WRI calculates the number of radios per 1,000 people by dividing the total number of radios by the total population of a given country for a specific year; this quotient is multiplied by 1,000. WRI uses population data provided by ITU in order to maintain consistency with other ITU indicators which use population figures to determine telecommunications penetration. ITU receives its population data, which are based on mid-year estimates, from the UN Department of International Economic and Social Affairs." "" "For more information, please consult the following website maintained by the ITU: http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/ict/publications/world/world.html." "" "Data Reliability:" "ITU has some of the most complete datasets available about telecommunications; nonetheless the data are often very rough approximations. For example, some countries have a licensing scheme whereby radio sets must be registered. Since households may have more than one radio receiver or may not register, the number of licensed receivers may understate the true number. While the data can illustrate very general trends, rigid comparisons among countries are discouraged."
