The report does not claim to cover all countries or even attempt to,
rather it's a deliberately selective sample. The aim was to be
thorough with a limited set of countries rather than covering
as many countries as possible.

So it does not claim Estonia is the most Internet-friendly country
in the world, or USA as the second - those rankings are only among
the sample studied.
