Key Quotes
“It’s always been my ambition to become a global company, because my passion is to improve the global user experience, not just individual regions.”
“Our choice is to go to emerging markets, so-called underserved markets like India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Russia, Brazil, where the infrastructure is not as good as in what we call mature markets like the U.S., Europe, Japan, Korea. But the user base is huge and their mobile users have dramatically increased year over year, and they have a bigger population as well as a GDP increase.”
“Even though our strategy is to go to the emerging markets first, our customers need global coverage. Because the experience is not just for one location. It's going to be for global users.”
“Obviously we don't know what's the next killer app yet. There will be a new killer app coming online. Is it a different type of e-commerce or different type of social application or different kind of a live streaming? Just imagine in the future, for example, you and I sitting in the same room, like a projection. But that requires a lot of bandwidth.”
