In this report we summarize the main statistics on Internet access, Internet usage and e-government usage in the different SmartCities countries (i.e. Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, the United Kingdom and Sweden). The data and graphs presented for the SmartCities countries are based on the Eurostat European ICT surveys of 2007 and 2008.

Levels of e-government usage by individuals strongly varies between the different countries - ranging from 23% in Belgium to 62% in Norway. The use of e-government by enterprises in SmartCities countries is much higher than that of individuals, ranging from a low of 56% in Germany to a high of 78% in Sweden.
