Telecommunications services price index (TSPI)

Summary of changes

Activity on this program started: 1996

Reference period of change - first quarter 2014 to second quarter 2018

Data for a new set of Telecommunications Services Price Indexes (TSPI) are now available from the first quarter of 2014 up to and including the second quarter of 2018. The quarterly indexes measure changes over time in the prices received by telecommunications service providers for fixed telecommunications services (except Internet access), mobile telecommunications services and cable, satellite and other program distribution services.

Previously, a single component of the TSPI (wired long distance telephone services) was published; however, this series was terminated in 2005. This release marks the completion of a multi-year initiative to modernize the Telecommunications Services Price Indexes.
