Four Nordic countries are the Web-savviest nations in the world and, together with the United Kingdom, pushed the United States out of the top five, a survey found on Monday.
Denmark was more aggressive than any other country in taking advantage of the Internet, according to research carried out by U.S. computer company IBM and the intelligence unit of British magazine The Economist.
"Denmark has a very active government policy to reduce the administrative burden on companies," said Peter Korsten, European director at IBM's Institute for Business Value.
Second last year, Denmark snatched Sweden's pole position after establishing a government portal Web site which pulls together five ministries and 24 other organizations where companies can access services.
