Sweden Tops Tim Berners-Lee's Web Index

A global index reports that social political impact of the web is highest in Sweden, followed by the US and the UK. The Sir Tim Berners-Lee World Wide Web Foundation ranked 61 countries, evaluating the following categories: “communications infrastructure - the state and availability of web-enabling infrastructure; institutional infrastructure - education, laws, regulation and censorship; web content - what relevant and useful content is available; web use - the extent to which the web is used in a country; political impact; economic impact and social impact,” reports BBC News. Censorship and high prices for broadband were the biggest barriers to web use. With only one out of three people in the world using the web, internet access remains a luxury for many. Countries with the lowest rankings included Nepal, Cameroon and Bangladesh. – YaleGlobal
