It analyses the special terms which are used in information society concept and conducts the comparison between economy of information and economy of industrial society. The information economy we define as the stage of economical development which is characterized by combination of traditional and high-tech industries on the basis of wide implementation of intellectual capital and ICT .This paper conducts the estimation of level of ICT implementation in Ukraine on the basis of official information of State Statistics Service of Ukraine, information of the International Telecommunication Union and the World Bank as well as the composite indexes, such as an ICT Development Index and Networked Readiness Index. As the result of this research we detect the powerful ICT infrastructure in Ukraine and high level of its human capital but not relevant political and regulatory environment which decelerate the development of information society in Ukraine. We propose the expansion of ICT implementation by traditional for Ukraine branches of economy such as metallurgy, manufacturing, agriculture etc., that can not only increase the efficiency and competitiveness of the Ukrainian enterprises but also initiate the deepening of ICT implementation in all spheres of public life and development of information society in Ukraine.
