A new report from World Newsmedia Network looking at global Digital hot spots, highlights again the impact of mobile in Asia. With large parts of the region having higher mobile than desktop penetration, mobile internet is currently leading broadband and desktop and will do so for the foreseeable future.
Some interesting perspective on the hype too, in that China and India are currently ranked amongst the coldest Digital territories globally, with less than 40% desktop and 75% mobile internet penetration.
