Abstract
The paper attempts to identify important factors significant for global information society development
and to determine the significance of geospatial (geo-information) technologies. The starting point is international
measures of the development level of information & communication technologies (ICT) and information society
(IS). The relevance of the particular factors was defined using the general segmentation of the milieu, taking into
account social, technological, economic, environmental, political, legal and ethical factors and also estimating
the global spatial dimension of ICT and IS development. The diagnosis serves as the context of considerations
concerning the contribution of geographers and cartographers to IS.
