9. Mobile Web observations - Indonesia
- Social networking is a key driver for adoption, they provide a 24h
“need” to be online
- Web search, access to information by students or the self-
employed.
- Low PC penetration, the mobile Web enables them to save time
by not having to go to Internet cafes.
- Commuters dream, massive traffic in big cities, make people surf
the Web more
- Less restrictive and personal, by Internet filters (mostly social
networks, IM, porn) at work or schools/universities.

acquiring customers.
11. «The growth in social networking is driven by
changes in the economy/politics. In Russia we
have a lot of topics to discuss»
Rustem Adagamov aka Drugoi
The most popular Russian-speaking blogger
• Social Networks are the key driver for adoption and
marketing of Opera Mini
• From our analysis in the emerging markets the time spent on social
networks is relatively higher when compared to developed countries
where there is a more balanced relationship between social networks
and search sites and portals
12. Opera Mini in the emerging markets
Looking at Russia and Indonesia, which see high growth rates of
adoption of Opera Mini we identify the following market
conditions:
• Right pricing, the price per MB of data is low in these
countries making the usage of mobile services affordable
• Open market handsets, users proactively discover the best
offers and applications for their phones
• Low PC and broadband penetration and/or technological or
social barriers to access content on PCs
