YEREVAN, March 28. /ARKA/. Armenia ranks 96th among 122 countries
in the Network Preparedness Index says the 2006-2007 IT Global
Competitiveness Report prepared by the Economy and Values Research
Center.
According to the report, the strong points of Armenia’s network
preparedness are the companies’ capability to apply new technologies,
availability of scientists and architects, as well as the number of
patented inventions and discoveries per each million of residents.
Among the weak points are high prices for Internet communication,
the number of subscribers and on-line services.

participated in the preparation of the report. The report is based on
the network preparedness index, which shows countries’ preparedness
for the development of information and communication technologies,
