High Ranking But Room For Improvement In Business Connectivity

Mexico’s 2009 Connectivity Scorecard ranking reflects good performance in most areas of consumer connectivity.  Broadband penetration is good and the vast majority of the country is covered by mobile phone service.  PSTN and mobile penetration are not quite as high, however.  Consumer usage is also lower with average levels of internet usage, indicating mixed availability of public access points. 

Business connectivity scores are also generally lower, with limited secure server penetration and weak spending on IT resources.  PC penetration is good but secondary school enrolment is moderate.  The country’s E-Government ranking is near the top of all countries on the sample, despite a low level of government spending on computer services and hardware.
