Armenia 96th in Network Preparedness Index
YEREVAN, March 28. /ARKA/. Armenia ranks 96th among 122 countries in the Network Preparedness Index says the 2006-2007 IT Global Competitiveness Report prepared by the Economy and Values Research Center.
According to the report, the strong points of Armenia’s network preparedness are the companies’ capability to apply new technologies, availability of scientists and architects, as well as the number of patented inventions and discoveries per each million of residents.
Among the weak points are high prices for Internet communication, the number of subscribers and on-line services.
I personally take it as a failure for a country which announces IT as a strategic aspect of economy, to be on the 96th place.
