Asia Pacific
In 1996, 2/3 of the world’s Internet population was in the US, yet today Asia Pacific is the largest region.
Many emerging regions are likely to bypass old modes, skipping dial-up to go straight to broadband, making
multimedia, video, and collaborative content immediately accessible.
Early adoption of mobile web in addition to PC web will likely be popular in many of these high-growth areas.
