SUMMARY:Global Internet Development Viewed Through the Net Vitality Lens
DESCRIPTION:Stuart N. Brotman\nNet Vitality is a new analytic approach to examine ways to sustain long-term Internet vibrancy\, both in the United States and around the world\, and helps inform future government policies that impact the deployment and adoption of broadband technologies.  Unlike other comparative studies that rank countries quantitatively based on a simplistic assessment of broadband speeds\, Stuart N. Brotman’s Net Vitality Index\, released earlier this year\, also measures countries qualitatively to determine how well they are performing in a global competitive environment\, gauging the true vitality of a country’s Internet ecosystem. \nBased on five years of research\, the Net Vitality Index is the first holistic analysis of the global broadband Internet ecosystem\, identifying the United States\, South Korea\, Japan\, the United Kingdom\, and France as the top-tier leaders. Unlike the one-dimensional rankings that serve as the basis of most broadband comparative studies\, Brotman’s composite metric takes into account 52 factors developed independently to evaluate countries on an apples-to-apples basis. Overarching categories assessed encompass applications\, devices\, networks\, and macroeconomic factors. \nBrotman is a faculty member at Harvard Law School and a Nonresident Senior Fellow in the Center for Technology Innovation at The Brookings Institution in Washington\, DC.
