Worldwide Positioning and Status
Regardless of mentionable accomplishments, our situation as clients of advanced applications and administrations, contrasted with numerous different nations, is a long ways behind. This can be clarified by benchmarking files of dependable universal associations like Joined Countries, World Financial Discussion, Global Media transmission Association and so forth.
The Arranged Availability List (NRI) of World Monetary Discussion surveys the effect of ICT on the intensity of the countries of the world. The three segments for NRI are: condition for ICT (showcase, political and administrative, infrastructural condition and so forth), the partners (people, organizations and government) to utilize ICT, lastly the use of ICT. Bangladesh's worldwide position is 113 (out of 142 nations) in 2012 which was two stages up from position 115 out of 2011. This was because of change in the utilization sub-list from 122 to 108.
