Lists & Rankings: New: Full Text Access to 2010 Connectivity Scorecard, Sweden Tops in Telecom Tech

Via Reuters:

Sweden took the number one spot from the United States to top the annual rankings on the usage of telecommunications technologies such as networks, cellphones and computers, a report released on Thursday shows.

The Connectivity Scorecard, created by London Business School professor Leonard Waverman in 2008, measured 50 countries on dozens of indicators, including technological skills and usage of communications technology.

"Sweden not only has the best current mix of attributes, but it also shows few signs of losing its lead," said Waverman.

"By contrast, there is the beginning of a gap in what was once the essence of U.S. leadership in most industrial and service sectors - education and skills."

Sweden was second in the last survey behind the United States. Norway placed third, up from fifth spot last year.

Researchers say the new indicator—commissioned by telecom gear maker Nokia Siemens Networks—is already used by several countries in developing innovation strategies.
