Während International gerade die Finanzkrise wütet und ihr Ausgang ungewiss ist, gibt es einen Markt, der davon weitestgehend unberührt bleibt. Das Internet als Markt und die Ausweitung des Internets auf Mobile Kommunikation ist nicht zu stoppen.

Plus there is the image of P-Berg as being the biggest breeding ground [...] Continue Reading…
