Sincerely, technology can surely throw a country in the dark for a short period when it stops to work, but in the long-run it is an interesting proxy/indicator for country development. In another way, even though Tallinn has been destroyed many times in the past by russian invaders, the situation is stable since World War II and the USSR dimantling. I would also add that the proximity of Helsinki is also beneficial for Tallinn's development. @Cyril, thanks for your comment.

The country was paralyzed and almost disappeared of the cybernetic world map.

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 22:58:38 +0000 http://jfbelisle.wordpress.com/?p=7#comment-400 [...] In conclusion, Scandinavia and Oceania are still leaders in term of Internet Penetration rate while nations such as the Four Asian Tigers (South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong & Taiwan) should improve their position in the next few years even though the new ranking did not revealed strong improvements. However, even though this macroeconomic indicator is quite reliable to reflect a nation’s innovation, it is important to note that it tends to favor nations where the population is highly concentrated in urban areas. In this way, this ranking is a good complement to my post entitled The 10 Most Hi-Tech Cities in the World.
