Overview

Mexico scores 4.87 and climbs one place to finish in 7th place among resource and efficiency-driven¹ economies on the Connectivity Scorecard 2011. However it continues to trail Latin American leader Chile and also lags behind regional neighbors Argentina and Brazil like last year.

Mexico delivers a good performance in the consumer components and achieves respectable scores on the public sector related metrics. However, its weak performance in the business infrastructure component indicates a large scope for improvement.

The Mexican government is undertaking various initiatives to further boost the development of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) infrastructure. However, the country requires a well-rounded approach, including higher ICT investments by Mexican businesses,
to truly achieve its promise.
