In India, we will have 300 million mobile users by 2008. It a huge number of people and a bulk of them will have GPRS and multimedia enabled phones. In the future, I see the mobile being a much bigger touch point than the PC.

Web 2.0 is here today, yet its vast disruptive impact is just beginning. More than just the latest technology buzzword, it’s a transformative force that’s propelling companies across all industries toward a new way of doing business. Those who act on the Web 2.0 opportunity stand to gain an early-mover advantage in their markets.

What’s causing this change? Consider the following raw demographic and techno-
logical drivers:

• One billion people around the globe now have access to the Internet
• Mobile devices outnumber desktop computers by a factor of two
• Nearly 50 percent of all U.S. Internet access is now via always-on broadband
