Usefulness of Map

 

This map is useful when making comparisons over different time spans, as it details the progress with regard to backbone rollouts.  This indicator is also pertinent in the determination of broadband penetration.  The map provides a visual image of a country’s present ICT position and what needs to be accomplished in the future – thereby making target setting easier.
