Assessment of the level of development of information and communication technologies in the regions of the Siberian federal district

The aim of the study is a comparative analysis of generalizing indicators of the development of information and communication technologies (ICT), identifying the possibilities of their use for interregional comparisons. A system of indicators for assessing the level of ICT development in the regions is proposed. Generalized rank assessments using the multidimensional mean and "Pattern" methods allow us to assess the territorial differences in the levels of ICT use in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. According to the results of the statistical study, the positions of the regions in the Siberian Federal District on the use of ICT were revealed.
