Hong Kong boasts the most connected population the world in a new ranking that compares connectivity rates around the globe. While India finds a place towards the bottom of the list at No.72, below Bangladesh which holds the 71st position. India's other neighbour Pakistan is 73rd on the list.
The positions of the three South Asian neighbours remain unchanged from the 2015 list.
According to the GfK Connected Consumer Index, of the 78 countries examined, consumers living in Hong Kong and North America are the most connected.
That means they are among the technologically savviest and most likely to make smart devices a part of their daily lives, such as smartphones, tablets, mobile PC, desktop PC, wearables, smart TV, TV set-top box, video game console, e-reader, connected car and smart home.
The report also showed, however, that consumers in the United Arab Emirates have been quickly closing the gap, leap-frogging from eighth to third place in just a year.
Switzerland is another notable mover, overtaking Denmark and Sweden to take eighth place this year.
Driving growth in developed markets such as Western Europe and North America are developments in wearable technology, connected cars and smart home technology.
