Rapid advances in ICT equipment result in these assets having short  useful lives and being replaced at a much faster rate than other types  of equipment. As a result, rather than capitalizing the value of such  assets and expensing the cost over two or more years, companies often  expense the full cost of such assets during the current annual period.  In some cases this same-period expense is also because companies have  varying dollar levels for capitalization. Hence, the survey gives users a  more complete idea of U.S. companies&#8217; total investment in ICT  equipment. The statistics are used to assess future productivity and  economic growth prospects and permit the reconciliation of important  differences between reported production and consumption of technology. <\/p>\n<p>Companies are expensing the full cost of such assets during the current annual period rather than capitalizing the value of such  assets and expensing the cost over two or more years. In some cases this is due to the short useful life of the asset, and in other  cases this is because companies have varying dollar levels for capitalization. The ICTS data are critical for providing improved  source data to the investment component of gross domestic product, capital stock estimates, and capital flow tables.<\/p>\n<p>The 2010 estimates included in this  report are based on data collected from a sample of 46,448 companies with employees. The sample frame for companies with employees  was slightly more than 5.7 million.
