What’s the DOI?

The Digital Opportunity Index evaluates the opportunity, infrastructure and utilization of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for 180 economies worldwide. The Index monitors the mobile communications that promise to bridge the digital divide in many parts of the world, as well as more recent technologies such as broadband and mobile Internet access.

Seems we suck overall for ICT, not just broadband.

    It’s important to review the ‘basket’ inputs that the economists use for this. Some samples are to be found on wefourm.org.

    I look in detail at this. Prof Michael Porter and team contruct inputs and weights around items such as: infrastructure, Patent Policy, Social matter etc.
