Wim Vermeulen

”Daca in ultimii sapte ani toata lumea spunea ca acesta este anul Internetului pe mobil, in 2010 acest lucru chiar se intampla. Si asta datorita intrarii in piata a Google si Apple”, spune Vermeulen, prezent in cadrul celei de-a patra editii a evenimentului Digital Marketing Forum.

Acesta spune ca in Romania vor mai trece 2-3 ani pana cand utilizatorii de Internet vor accesa site-urile de pe un smartphone mai mult decat de pe un PC. ”Totul depinde insa de cat de repede creste penetrarea telefoanelor inteligente in piata”.
