Maplecroft maps is a highly visual web-based resource which contains detailed country information for over 200 states and maps key social, economic, environmental and political issues and their significance to business and society.
This map features 178 countries coloured in green, pink, purple and red according to one of four distinct levels of digital access as presented in the ITU Digital Access Index (DAI) – high, upper, medium and low. Red and purple shading indicates lower levels of digital access and pink and green shading indicates higher levels of digital access.
