In the recent global Connectivity Scorecard produced by Professor L. Waverman from London Business School in collaboration with LECG and Nokia Siemens Networks they have again studied how countries stack up when it comes to “Useful connectivity”
Connectivity Scorecard is a global ICT index – the first of its kind to rank 50 countries not only on their deployment of ICT infrastructure but also to measure the extent to which governments, businesses and consumers make use of connectivity technologies to enhance social and economic prosperity, so called “useful connectivity”.
Connectivity Scorecard 2010 highlights the continued need for investment in information and communications technology (ICT) to stimulate a return to economic growth. Here is the top 10 list for 2010. If you’re interested in comparing the development over time I suggest you visit their homepage and download the whole report.

With the winter Olympics just starting I was hoping that this list would be as contagious to the medal count as is a flu in a kindergarten. Bring it on.
