Singapore - High incomes and high Internet penetration, but
small populations (remember that content
aggregation costs are not necessarily lower
because of smaller population)

capta, however they are not as promising as the
chosen target markets
- India, Thailand, Philippines
- Despite fast Internet growth, infrastructure and
income are still restrictions in order to achieve
critical mass
