globeandmail.com: Sweden tops world’s most wired countries

European countries, including other Nordic nations Denmark and Iceland, occupy most of the top 10 spots

Sweden may be better known for cars and couches than computers, but when it comes to access to broadband and cellular networks, it’s tops. The Scandinavian country leads the world in “technological readiness,” according to the World Economic Forum.

To rank high on the list — one of 12 included in the WEF’s annual Global Competitiveness Report — countries need to have tech-friendly government policies as well as high tech usage.
