To get closer with concepts used in the European survey, since the survey ICT 2011, the size of the questioned units is not any more measured in number of employees, but in number of occupied persons: the non-salaried persons are included in staff. The survey ICT concerns the companies of at least 10 occupied persons, - what includes in particular the units using 9 employees and whose manager is not salaried - the previous survey on those of at least 10 employees. One of the consequences of this modification on the results is an increase of the influence of the smallest companies.
