Argomento: Rassegna stampa


"Il Piano d’Azione 'E-europe 2005' è l’ultima occasione per far diventare il Vecchio Continente l’economia della conoscenza più competitiva e dinamica del mondo, entro il 2010". E’ l’auspicio che viene dal Centro Studi Thesmos, nato nel 2001, che ha pubblicato il quarto e il quinto volume dei suoi "Quaderni", curati da Maria Pia Caruso, Francesco Tufarelli e Federico Arcelli e presentati giovedì 4 marzo a Roma.

Oltre a colmare il divario tecnologico, però, bisognerà garantire che i servizi essenziali rimangano accessibili a tutti e a prezzi contenuti, si legge nello studio.

Global Information Technology Report 2002-2003 - Readiness for the Networked World

 

Cover of the Global Information Technology Report 2002-2003

The Global Information Technology Report is the most comprehensive assessment of "networked readiness" – how prepared an economy is to capture the benefits of technology to promote economic growth and productivity. As the world experiences an economic slowdown, the Report highlights that the use and application of information and communication technologies (ICT) remain among the most powerful engines of growth. This year’s Report benchmarks the performance and monitors progress in networked readiness of 82 countries.


Highlight: Jordan's Success in ICT Prioritization and Promotion
Out of 82 economies ranked in the Global Information Technology Report 2002-2003, Jordan ranks 14 in terms of government prioritization of ICT and 17 in terms of government success in ICT promotion.
