We compared the ICT-Opportunity Index (ICT-OI) with our DEA-Opportunity Index (DEA-OI) and found a high correlation between the two. Our findings suggest that both indices are consistent in their measurement of digital opportunity, though differences still exist in different regions. Our new DEA-OI offers much more than the ICT-OI. Using our model, the target and peer groups for each country can be identified. <\/br><\/br><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scopus.com\/inward\/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-77955230193&#038;partnerID=40&#038;md5=0a7b5b9b9e93aeb69f9c0d7243cd3618\"target=\"New\"><strong><center>Download <br \/><small>(Source 1)<\/small><\/center> <\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1016\/j.im.2010.04.002\" target=\"New\"><strong><center>Download<br \/><small>(DOI)<\/small><\/center><\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td>Emrouznejad, A., E.
