> Majority of the people who get on to the web for the first time in the developing world will do so on the smart phone and not on the PC. Their needs will be very different. But some commonalities will remain. For instance many of them will access the smart phone for entertainment. Here is where it gets interesting. Can Youtube become the goto platform for these folks for watching videos?? Doubt it, given the speed issues. Whatsapp could be the mode as we see it getting more and more popular in places like India for even ecommerce. How do you build apps that use Whatsapp or equivalent platform to deliver services?? The monetisation model will be different too. This will be a high volume but very low value per transaction that needs a different mind set. Even a dollar per song download will be too high.
