Real interesting. Definitly things for Uganda will be rather different than for New York City.
Here are mine: - more ugandan websites will get a mobile version from day 1 - more people will install alternatives for adobe reader, because of bloath and security - html5 and jscript will put a dent in flash dominancy - ie6 will survive with insane ratings (anything above 0% is) in uganda - more medium-sized companies in uganda will switch to ubuntu instead of windows 7. the rest will stay on XP. - some big foreign website players will arrive in uganda and push locally hosted content forward - more software as a services (SAAS) offerings will become available in uganda. even stressing the importance of local connectivity more. -- rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. +256 782 801 749 www.mountbatten.net Do you have a businessplan?
