# Global Digital Economy & Connectivity Data

## Freshness
Last updated: `2026-06-24`.

If the current date is more than 7 days after the last updated date, reinstall this skill from skills.sh or ClawHub before relying on endpoints, schemas, setup steps, or examples.

## What This Tool Does
Explore digital economy and technology adoption data for any country in the world. Look up internet penetration rates, mobile subscriptions, broadband access, e-government readiness scores, and ICT infrastructure indicators. Track digital growth, identify connectivity gaps, and compare how countries are progressing in the digital era — all from a comprehensive global data set.

## Product Instructions
### Digital Economy & Technology Data

Access comprehensive digital economy statistics from the World Bank's World Development Indicators database covering 200+ countries. Query internet penetration, mobile and broadband infrastructure, ICT trade metrics, digital divide analysis, and regional comparisons using natural language country names.

#### Actions

##### query_digital_data

Fetch digital economy and technology indicator data for a country or region.

**Required Parameters:**
- `action` (string): Must be `"query_digital_data"`
- `country_or_region` (string): Country or region name in plain language (e.g., `"South Korea"`, `"Kenya"`, `"World"`)

**Optional Parameters:**
- `digital_aspect` (string, default: `"all"`): Digital domain to query. One of:
  - `"internet"` - Internet users (% of population and total count)
  - `"mobile"` - Mobile cellular subscriptions (total and per 100 people) and fixed telephone subscriptions
  - `"broadband"` - Fixed broadband (total and per 100 people) and mobile broadband subscriptions
  - `"ict"` - ICT goods exports/imports, ICT service exports, high-tech exports (value and % of manufactured)
  - `"infrastructure"` - Secure internet servers, telephone subscriptions, fixed broadband
  - `"e_government"` - E-government context (limited; World Bank data does not include EGDI directly)
  - `"all"` - All available digital indicators
- `calculate_digital_divide` (boolean, default: `false`): Calculate digital access gaps (100% minus current access rates) for internet, broadband, and mobile
- `time_period` (string, default: `"latest"`): Time period for data. Options:
  - `"latest"` - Most recent available data
  - `"last_5_years"` - Last 5 years of data
  - `"last_10_years"` - Last 10 years of data
  - `"YYYY:YYYY"` - Specific year range (e.g., `"2015:2020"`). Years must be between 1960 and current year.
  - `"YYYY"` - A single year (e.g., `"2020"`)
- `include_regional_comparison` (boolean, default: `true`): Include comparison data with digital leaders (World average, High Income countries, South Korea, Singapore)
- `include_trends` (boolean, default: `true`): Include trend analysis with CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) calculations when historical data is available

}
```

#### Supported Countries and Regions

Accepts plain-language names. Examples of supported inputs:

- **Countries**: `"United States"`, `"USA"`, `"India"`, `"South Korea"`, `"Nigeria"`, `"Brazil"`, `"Singapore"`, `"Kenya"`, etc. (200+ countries)
- **Regions**: `"Sub-Saharan Africa"`, `"Latin America"`, `"Middle East"`, `"South Asia"`, `"East Asia"`, `"Europe"`

- **Global**: `"World"` or `"Global"`
- **ISO3 codes**: 3-letter codes like `"USA"`, `"IND"`, `"KOR"` are also accepted

Country names support partial matching, so `"UK"` maps to United Kingdom and `"America"` maps to USA.

#### Available Indicators

##### Internet Access
- Internet Users (% of population)
- Internet Users (total number)

##### Mobile and Telephony
- Mobile Cellular Subscriptions (total)
- Mobile Subscriptions (per 100 people)
- Fixed Telephone Subscriptions

##### Broadband
- Fixed Broadband Subscriptions (total)
- Fixed Broadband (per 100 people)
- Mobile Broadband Subscriptions

##### ICT Trade
- ICT Goods Exports (% of total goods exports)
- ICT Goods Imports (% of total goods imports)
- ICT Service Exports (% of service exports)
- High-Technology Exports (current US$)
- High-Tech Exports (% of manufactured exports)

##### Infrastructure and R&D
- Secure Internet Servers (per million people)
- Researchers in R&D (per million people)
- R&D Expenditure (% of GDP)

#### Response Structure

Responses include:
- **Indicator data** with latest values, proper units (%, per 100 people, total numbers, current US$), year, and source
- **Trend analysis** with absolute change, percent change, direction (increasing/decreasing/stable), data point count, and CAGR when applicable
- **Digital divide analysis** (when enabled): internet access gap, fixed broadband gap, mobile coverage status
- **Regional comparison** benchmarked against World average, High Income countries, South Korea, and Singapore
- **Insights** covering internet penetration levels, mobile adoption, broadband infrastructure, ICT export significance, digital expansion rates, and SDG 9.c progress
- **SDG 9.c alignment** (Universal and affordable access to internet)

#### Digital Divide Analysis

When `calculate_digital_divide` is `true`, the response includes:
- **Internet access gap**: Current access percentage and the gap (100% minus access)
- **Fixed broadband gap**: Current subscriptions per 100 people and gap to universal access
- **Mobile coverage**: Subscriptions per 100 people and whether coverage exceeds population (multiple devices per person)

#### Workflows

1. **Digital Readiness Assessment**: Query all digital indicators for a country with regional comparison to benchmark against digital leaders
2. **Digital Divide Analysis**: Enable `calculate_digital_divide` for internet and broadband aspects to quantify access gaps
3. **ICT Trade Research**: Use `digital_aspect: "ict"` with trends to track technology export growth over time
4. **Infrastructure Planning**: Query broadband and infrastructure aspects over the last 10 years to identify growth patterns
5. **SDG 9.c Monitoring**: Query internet penetration with regional comparison to assess progress toward universal access

#### Notes

- Data sourced from World Bank World Development Indicators
- Mobile subscriptions can exceed 100 per 100 people due to multiple SIMs/devices per person
- Fixed broadband means wired broadband subscriptions, not mobile broadband
- Mobile broadband refers to internet via mobile networks (3G, 4G, 5G)
- ICT goods include computers, telecom equipment, and consumer electronics
- High-tech exports include aerospace, computers, pharmaceuticals, and instruments
- Secure internet servers are measured per 1 million people
- The E-Government Development Index (EGDI) is not available in World Bank data; the `"e_government"` aspect returns an empty indicator set
- Data availability varies by country and indicator; most recent data may be 1-2 years old
- When an unrecognized `digital_aspect` is provided, the tool defaults to internet and mobile indicators
- Regional comparison benchmarks against World, High Income, South Korea, and Singapore using internet_users, mobile_subscriptions_per100, and fixed_broadband_per100
- Trend CAGR is only calculated for multi-year periods where both start and end values are positive
