Article Abstract:

Swweden has the highest level of home computer penetration, and Swedes also have high usage rates for the internet. Sweden suffered high unemployment during the early 1990s, and has come to be a leader in European telecoms and internet activities. Around 7.7% of Swedish gross domestic product was invested in communications and IT in 1999 compared to 7.5% for the US, and 5.8% for western Europe as a whole. Swedish society is relatively egalitarian and most people have access to new technology. Internet retailing firms end to be unlisted, though some aim to go public.
