In terms of digital services, the study looked at security of communications, availability of electronic invoicing, availability of electronic applications for services such as building permits and day care places, and reporting of road damage, among other things. The fifteen Danish towns surveyed scored an average of seven out of ten. Arhus and Frederiksberg came top in Denmark with Herning and Aalborg at the bottom. The average in Norway was six out of ten and in Sweden, it was four out of ten.
In terms of mobile network development, the study looked at four areas, namely access for mast erection on public land and buildings, prices for those sites, council cooperation, and the existence of a mobile masterplan for the town. In these areas, Danish towns scored an average of 4.1 out of ten, compared with 5.0 in Norway and 5.6 in Sweden. The main problem in Denmark is that it is dearer to set up antennae than it is in the other two countries.
