Do you want to live in a population with the best quality of fixed and wireless data? Would you like your childrent to have technology as a high focal point in their education? Live where the best technological advances and changes are occuring and the government is not putting shackles on the use of your technology?
Well move to Sweden or even the Netherlands. Both countries scored higher in the 2010 Digital Economy Rankings of 2010 than the United States. Well the U.S. did very well coming in 3rd and leading in some categories, Sweden beat them out overall.
The categories these scores were measured and weighted on were as follows: connectivity, business environment, social and cultural environment, legal environment, government policy and vision, and consumer and business adoption.
The U.S. was the highest in both social and cultural environment and government policy and vision. Sweden though only took top marks in connectivity but scored in the tops in all the other categories putting them in first place.
