To better understand how various factors inhibit online interaction and exchange, and thereby constrain economic activity, the internet corporation for assigned names and numbers (icann) commissioned The boston consulting Group to prepare an independent report, Greasing the Wheels of the Internet Economy. This supplement contains data for each of the economies included in the 2013 bcG e-friction index.

The bcG e-friction index assesses the impact of 55 such factors on a country-by-country basis. We have grouped these indicators of friction into four components: infrastructure-related friction that limits basic internet access, industry sources that afect the ability of companies to maintain an internet presence and engage in online transactions, individual sources that constrain consumer internet activity, and information-related friction that involves the general availability of, and access to, online content.

Exhibit 3 | The Four Components of e-Friction Comprise 55 Indicators 8 | Greasing the Wheels of the Internet Economy A COuNTRY-bY-COuNTRY E-FRICTION ANALYSIS T he bcG e-friction index rates coun- tries on a scale of 0 to 100. no economy is entirely frictionless, of course, and sources of friction evolve over time, but a hypotheti- cal country that comes out on top on all 55 friction indicators in our index today would score 0or no e-friction. a country that ranks last across the board would score 100. We scored actual countries against these baselines. The 55 indicators are interrelated and work together to determine the overall friction af- fecting the digital economy of a particular country. Each country can gain an under- standing of how it compares with neighbors and competitors by assessing its rankings across the different types of friction. it can thus determine where its efforts to eliminate sources of friction are best aimed.
