According to the World Economy Forum’s "2006-2007 Information
Technology World Competitiveness Report", provided by the Armenian
"Economy and Values" research center, Armenia is the 96-th of 122
countries under review by web development. This rating indicates a
country’s ability to take part in world information and communication
technologies process and preparedness for their exploitation.

Armenia has advantage in ability of application of new technologies on
the level of commercial companies, in ‘per head’ ratio of innovations
and inventions patented in US and in large number of scientists
and engineers.

Armenia’s disadvantage is high prices for high-speed Internet
communications, low number of Internet subscribers, low level of
online services and of Internet accessibility in schools and other
educational institutions.
