'[The] Global Information Technology Report is a must-read for decision makers in the Information and Communications Technologies arena. It provides a valuable roadmap for public-private partnerships to continue progress towards a more equitable information society.' - Erkki Liikanen, Formerly European Commissioner for Enterprise and the Information Society 'The Global Information Technology Report series of the World Economic Forum aims to monitor the progress of networked readiness in more than 100 countries, highlighting the policy, institutional, and structural obstacles that prevent countries from fully capturing the benefits of ICT. It is thus a benchmarking tool that also gauges the extent to which best practices are spreading all over the world. Beyond the mere provision of an annual international cross-section of networked readiness, the publication of the Report also may be seen as a vehicle whereby governments, businesses and individuals can assess progress on a regular basis.' - Klaus Schwab, Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum 'In recent years, major economic research has revealed a correlation between information and communication technologies (ICT), and gains in productivity. The Global Information Technology Report provides valuable information for countries and companies in areas of opportunity and development to achieve greater participation in the global networked economy.' - John Chambers, President and CEO, Cisco Systems
