信息产业这个概念在中国,甚至于“九五”计划中都未曾见到,只是有邮电业、电子业和信息服务业的分类。然而早在1998年,在原邮电部和电子部的基础上就成立了信息产业部。至此,信息产业在中国终于名正言顺地从其他重要相关行业中整合并独立出来,成为新兴的产业部门。而今年出台的“九五”计划,国民经济信息化的概念已经浮出水面。此谓之信息产业的分久必合。 The concept of the information industry has never been seen in China or even during the Ninth Five-Year Plan. It is only classified by the post and telecommunications, electronics, and information services industries. However, as early as 1998, the Ministry of Information Industry was established on the basis of the former Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the Department of Electronics. At this point, the information industry in China finally justifiably integrated and emerged from other important related industries and became an emerging industrial sector. The “Ninth Five-Year Plan” announced this year has already brought to the surface the concept of informationization of the national economy. This said that the information industry must be divided for a long time.
