Overview of ICT in Italy
Italy is ranked as the world's sixth-largest industrial economy, and is Europe's fourth largest market for Information and Communication Technology. There has long been a dichotomy between the relatively industrialized, prosperous north, and the agricultural, less advanced south. IT adoption is no exception. Italy is the world's fourth largest market for mobile telecommunications. Italy was considered a medium ICT intensity country by OECD's Measuring the ICT Sector in 2000.
