The findings of the study revealed that the trends of the information technology and communications (ICT) networking readiness index ratio, with was estimated by using the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method changed in the opposite direction with the export value. However, the interaction between the networking readiness index of Thailand and the imported countries moved in the same direction with the export value. Estimates using the Dynamic Ordinary Least Square (DOLS), it was found that change in network readiness index moved in the same direction with export value.
