“The Report uses the Networked Readiness Index (NRI), covering a total of 115 economies in 2005-2006, to measure the degree of preparation of a nation or community to participate in and benefit from ICT developments.

The NRI is composed of three component indexes which assess:

* the environment for ICT offered by a given country or community
* the readiness of the community’s key stakeholders – individuals, business and governments
* and the usage of ICT among these stakeholders”
