The '''Digital Opportunity Index''' ('''DOI''') is an index published by the [[United Nations]] [[International Telecommunication Union]] based on internationally-agreed [[ICT]] indicators. This makes it a valuable tool for benchmarking the most important indicators for measuring the Information Society. The DOI is a standard tool that governments, operators, development agencies, researchers and others can use to measure the [[digital divide]] and compare ICT performance within and across countries.

The Digital Opportunity Index (DOI) is based on 11 ICT indicators, grouped in 3 clusters: [[opportunity]], [[infrastructure]] and [[utilization]]. The DOI has been compiled for 181 economies for a period of three years from 2004-2006. An even longer time series for 62 leading economies for the period 2000-2006 is also available.<ref>http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/ict/doi/index.html</ref> It has since been superseeded{{citationCitation needed|date=December 2009}} by the [[ICT Development Index]] which combines some of the indicators used in the DOI with other measures of the digital divide.<ref>http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/ict/publications/idi/2009/material/IDI2009_w5.pdf</ref>
