Malaysia 26th in the World’s “Network Readiness”
via BusinessWeek:
The sixth annual Global Information Technology Report, prepared by the Geneva-based WEF and French management school INSEAD, presents a snapshot of how well 122 countries leverage information and communications technology (ICT) to drive economic growth. The stunning result of the 2006 study: Five of the top 10 countries on this year’s list are Nordic, and eight are Northern European. Singapore is the sole representative of Asia in the top 10. And the U.S. fell six places this year, from No. 1 on the 2005 list, due to what the report calls “relative deterioration of the political and regulatory environment.”
Not too bad I think but we’re really far behind S’pore. With S’poreans already enjoying speeds of up to 24Mbps, we’re still only talking about 4Mbps. Hopefully the new WiMax ventures will fix something.
