Our study aims to show the most important indicators of international classifications for the information and communication technology sector and the extent of their conformity with the performance of the sector’s components in Algeria. We adopted the descriptive approach to describe and present the components and mechanisms of the sector and the analytical approach to analyze the most important indicators of international classifications through the extent of their conformity and application on the ground. We found that most of the classification indicators are unstable at most stages of the study. While some of them are positive, such as e-government development and electronic security, which are very acceptable, others are negative, such as the speed of Internet flow. The least to say about global connectivity from and to mobile is weak, compared to the countries under study. We came up with a set of recommendations for decision-makers at the sector level in particular and public authorities in general regarding the necessity of keeping pace with developments taking place mainly in the digital field and allocating significant budgets for research, development, and training for the sector.
