With a turnover of NOK 66.2 billion, the enterprises in Telecommunications only managed a 1.7 per cent increase in turnover from 2011. Employment rose by 0.4 per cent, and 13 500 persons were employed in this industry in 2012.

Comparison between 2011 and 2012

Many enterprises and local KAUs within the industry division Information and communications (J) operate within different industries. The unit is placed in the division in which it has its main activity. If a unit changes its activity it may also have to move to a different industry. This is more common within industry division J than in most other industries. The result is that figures in one year may not necessarily be directly comparable to subsequent years. The effect of this is greater in figures for enterprises than for local KAUs.
