The latest edition of Measuring the Information Society, produced by the International Telecommunications Union, features a new ITU ICT Development Index.
The Index looks at the level of accessibility and use of Information and Communications Technologies in more than 150 countries and compares 2002 and 2007 results.
The Report is hefty: a 108 page book [
pdf, 1.53 MB] with lots of interesting information.
Among results that may surprise some observers, Canada is in the top 20 countries for mobile service affordability, and Canada ranks 2nd (to the US) in terms of broadband affordability.
I suspect we will have follow-up analysis and commentary over the coming days.
