The aim of the present research is to assess the eGovernment spread in European Union. The ranking between European Countries has taken into account the following indicators: ICT's Usage, Digital Public Services, Connectivity, Online Service Index, Telecommunication Infrastructure Index, Digital Skills and Gini Coefficient. The comparative study shows that the problem of the digital divide, despite investments in infrastructure and the possibility of accessing this information, is still present. Countries that have a less efficient eGovernment system and a lower ease of response to digital technology, risk-accumulating delays even in the adoption of eGovernment services. The paradoxical result could therefore be a widening of the already existing gap instead of the exploitation of digital to reduce this gap through greater efficiency of the system.

Abstract
The aim of the present research is to assess the eGovernment spread in European Union. The ranking between European Countries has taken into account the following indicators: ICT's Usage, Digital Public Services, Connectivity, Online Service Index, Telecommunication Infrastructure Index, Digital Skills and Gini Coefficient. The comparative study shows that the problem of the digital divide, despite investments in infrastructure and the possibility of accessing this information, is still present. Countries that have a less efficient eGovernment system and a lower ease of response to digital technology, risk-accumulating delays even in the adoption of eGovernment services. The paradoxical result could therefore be a widening of the already existing gap instead of the exploitation of digital to reduce this gap through greater efficiency of the system.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
