[icernet] Publish, Interact or Transact: Govts' Big E-riddle

[Arul Selvan]

E-government is much beyond a concept or a theory now. It is fast
becoming the norm as more and more countries join the online bandwagon.
Tracking the e-government initiatives, Tech n Biz had in the past two
issues looked at various countries across the world, including India.
The UK, US, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Netherlands, New
Zealand, South Africa, Dubai and Hong Kong are some of the countries
where considerable progress has been made in e-governance. A recent
survey conducted by Accenture had also put some of these countries on
top of the e-ratings. The list had Canada, Singapore, US, Australia,
Denmark and UK, in that order. Yet another study by the Economist
Intelligence Unit (EIU) ranked the US as the top country in e-readiness,
followed by Netherlands, UK, Switzerland, Sweden, Australia, Denmark,
Germany, Canada, Finland, Singapore, Norway and Hong Kong. In the
previous issue, we had showcased the e-government strides made by the
US, UK, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia.
