GENEVA (AP) - The United States has overtaken Singapore and regained the lead in exploiting information and communication technology, according to a study released Tuesday.
It is the third time in five years that the United States has topped the rankings in the World Economic Forum's "networked readiness index," based on such factors as quality of math and science education and low telephone and Internet pricing.
"The long pipeline of scientific and technological innovation is a remarkable source of strength for the U.S. economy," said Augusto Lopez-Claros, who co-edited the report for the Geneva-based forum.
