Digital Economy and Society Index 2017
Germany ranks 11th in DESI 2017. Germany is a leader in spectrum assignment. Germans are above average users of the Internet and their digital skills are progressing well. German citizens and companies are actively approaching the opportunities of eCommerce. However, Germans are reluctant to subscribe to fast broadband.
