TALLINN: Concerned about its assertive neighbour Russia, Estonia plans to upload much of its government data to computing clouds to guard against security threats, enabling the Baltic state to be run from abroad if necessary. 

Estonia is one of the world's most wired countries with 95% of government services online. You can vote, register births and cars, sign official documents and set up businesses online, often in a matter of minutes.
