Armenia was put in 101st position (gaining 13 points) in the World
Network Readiness Index Rankings 2009-2010 among 133 countries rated.
"Armenia has shown average results in Network Readiness Index,
however, falling behind other countries in the region," Economy and
Values Armenian Research Center chairman Manuk Yergnyan stated at
news conference.
As the member of Armenian Public Council Hovik Musaelyan stated,
serious improvement in the number of mobile connection subscribers
was observed in Armenia. "Still, the country fails to keep up in
other spheres," the expert noted. Musaelyan suggested for Armenia to
adopt the practices of Singapore and Ireland through inviting major
foreign IT companies and creating favorable conditions for them to
operate locally.
He also stressed the necessity of creating free economic zones,
providing tax privileges to IT companies and organizations contributing
to education sector, as well as start-up companies.
