As assimetrias regionais na construção da Sociedade da Informação em Portugal

Are notorious the regional asymmetries in building the information society in the international arena. Several studies and international bodies publish statistical information and analyzes that point to a significant gap between the developing and developed countries, for example. On the other hand, Portugal considered as a whole, presents some gaps relative to the forefront of the most advanced countries, or in the international context or even in the European context. Are also evident existing regional disparities in our country in various areas of development. The Regional Digital Index (RDI) published between 2012 and 2015 continues to confirm the existence of severe regional asymmetries in Portugal, in terms of construction of the Information Society. The Lisbon region is really the only one that continues to position itself ahead of the average calculated for Portugal.
