ICT manufacturing consists of IT equipment, IT components, telecom and multimedia equipment, telecom equipment (e.g., network equipment, mobile phones), multimedia equipment (e.g., TVs, DVD players, and video game consoles) and measurement instruments, whereas ICT services consist of telecom services (e.g., fixed line, mobile telecommunications) and computer services and software (e.g., consultancy, software, the internet).

The more thorough estimation on deflating the IO table is explained, for instance, by Celasun (1984) in the case of Turkish structural change of economy. The same method using the sectorial producer price index and import price index can be seen in Zakariah and Ahmad (1999) on the Malaysian economy. This study only uses the GDP deflator to obtain the constant value of IO table. A similar method can be found in Akita (1991).
