This sector of the e-Business W@tch contains three major
activities within the following classifications: telecommunications (part of
NACE Rev. 1 64), computer related activities (NACE Rev. 1 72) and audio-visual
services (part of NACE Rev. 92). On the 3-digit-level, the computer related
activities are further subdivided into six sub-groups, audio-visual services
into two sub-groups. The contribution of all three main activities to total
production value is about 3%.

With regard to total sectoral production value,
telecommunications is the main activity (estimated share of about 40%), followed
by computer related activities (35%) and audio-visual services (25%). Demand
structure differs significantly between these three fields. The proportion of
private households in final demand is about 30% for telecommunication services,
but less than 5% for computer related services and over 95% for audio-visual
services.
Despite to the variety of activities involved it is reasonable to
treat these activities as one sector, due to the ongoing technical convergence
between telecommunications and data processing services and the digitisation of
audio-visual products. In addition there is a common nature of the main service
products as "digital goods". This means that in principle e-business activities
may include - in contradiction to all physical products - also the stage of
product distribution, i.e. electronic delivery.
