you have mentioned very important and valid points about the region. While
Amman, Jordan is considered the Silicon Valley of the Middle East, I always say
that it is an over-stated statement simply because while a Silicon Valley is a
place for innovation and creativity, Amman is an IT hub where we have excellent
IT professionals who learn new technologies, but do not innovate any. The weak
link in this part of the world is lack of R&D centers, and that is why our
educational systems are not on-par with that of the Western world or even the
fat east.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Ahmed,<u></u><u></u></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I agree it won't go away and is less than before - but on
your second point, remembering a site URL, I would suggest, is not easier than
searching for the company or service name in a browser search bar or clicking on
the iTunes app.<u></u><u></u></p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><u></u> </p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Russia and Korea aren't really comparable - they are two
highly developed independent markets in terms of technology, resources and
experience in the Internet field, with very advanced software produced
domestically. In Russia, sites such as Yandex (Яндекс.рф) and <a href="http://mail.ru" target="_blank">mail.ru</a> dominate the user base and a typical user with
their Russian keyboard, Russian operating system, Russian browser using their
domestically produced search engine (Яндекс.рф) which produces a list of locally
hosted sites and services developed specifically for the Russian market (as
opposed to <a href="http://google.com" target="_blank">google.com</a>, <a href="http://facebook.com" target="_blank">facebook.com</a>, <a href="http://microsoft.com" target="_blank">microsoft.com</a> which are English made to fit into
Arabic with few developers in region). <u></u><u></u></p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><u></u> </p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I don't think these will be comparable until such time as
there is an Arabic technological centre - producing software engineers, advanced
software and hardware integration. And the opposite is currently true; 90%+ of
Arabic websites are hosted outside the region, mostly in the US; compared to
nearly all (I can't find a percent) Russian websites are hosted within Russia
fully on Russian infrastructure.<u></u><u></u></p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><u></u> </p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another sample data point - Arabic is the 5th most spoken
language (280m native speakers), Russian is the 8th (160m native speakers) yet
Russian is the 2nd most common language on the web.<u></u><u></u></p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><u></u> </p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><u></u> </p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think is part of a wider interesting topic, perhaps one for
future debates at MENOG meetings. This is that in spite of the population and
wealth of the Arabic region, the region has typically not invested in local
innovation or initiatives or where it has it has tended to throw money at pet
projects but the benefits of these are generally felt most by the foreign
partners, works or few rich financiers who back the projects. More Arabic IDNs,
more local centres of skill, more cooperation between nations who currently
compete to produce 5 average results instead of 1 global leader, more
initiatives for local web hosting and software production that can compete on
skill and price with Hyderabad, Seoul, Silicon Valley etc would go a long
way.<u></u><u></u></p></div>

with the "www" point which is also true with "http://" - many years ago this was
