Definitions

ICT is a term that is meant to include IT and telecom as a single concept. This makes sense due to a process of digital convergence whereby IT companies are becoming telecom companies and telecom companies are becoming IT companies and media companies. ICT is often used to describe the technology sector of the economy. It is more often used to describe foundational infrastructure as opposed to consumer technology. Some definitions of ICT start listing specific technologies such that they fail to be broad and general. The following are reasonable definitions of ICT.
(1) Digital infrastructure.

(2) The sector of the economy that provides foundational technology services and platforms.

Notes

The term ICT is primarily used by governments, telecom companies and academics. IT companies are likely to avoid the term as they view it as tied to telecom which they view as an old industry.
