E-readiness Assessment Tools Comparison

There are a large number of position papers with recommendations for how a country can
become 'e-ready' and effectively use and benefit from ICT. These perspectives range from a
focus on business and export-oriented growth with industry self-regulation, to strong
government consumer protections and equitable access programs, to local content and cultural
reception of ICT. These underlying models could easily be turned into assessment tools. In
fact, many of the models have corresponding assessment surveys (for example, a business /
export / self-regulation focus underpins APEC's survey). This report does not analyse them
further, however, since there is such a range of position papers.
