EIU 2007 e-readiness rankings – Asia moves up
The Economist Intelligence Unit finds that a strong government role in promotion and adoption of ICT has helped propel Asian countries upward in the rankings.
“Denmark and the US retain their number one and two spots in the rankings (with Sweden also tied for 2nd), but Hong Kong (4th), Singapore (6th), South Korea (16th), Taiwan (17th) and Japan (18th) have experienced a boost in 2007 in both scores and ranks. This is due in no small part to their governments’ vision and commitment in pushing digital development, and to continued progress in adoption of broadband and other advanced infrastructure.”
