If you haven’t seen it already, it’s worth taking a look at this Maplecroft map of digital inclusion. Just for the fun of it, choose the indebtedness option (choose Debt under Maps Alphabetically on the upper left hand side). Isn’t it amazing that there is so much correlation between “extreme” indebtedness and high digital inclusion? Then choose the corruption option (choose Corruption and Transparency under Maps Alphabetically). By now you should not be surprised at the high correlation between extreme corruption and low digital inclusion.
Maybe it’s just my perverse way of looking at things.
My thanks to Smart Mobs for the pointer to the article. Always a site worth visiting.
