Ummmmm, to Mr.Maleem: You have that figure wrong and very wrong. However rather than get the turf right on figures there is a Digital Marketing Summit in Karachi on the 31st August with people from Google and Microsoft amongst others giving you exactly why should with alot more in solid data than I could. I suggest you attend it and it could be an interesting eye opener for agencies.

What about services in Pakistan? We dont’ have the capacity to handle torrents; Microsoft doesn’t even promote the Xbox locally - no games, no competitions.. nothing. Therefore, no local scene for any of this.

Why the heck should we agencies be opting for online when less than 1% of Pakistan’s population is interacting with it?

Hmmm… Interesting read. What’s your take on the local market? Does any of this apply here in pakistan? I don’t think so because the number of readers who are willing to follow such a vast amount of content demands a much greater number of people putting up content online than currently are available.

I don’t think the local content scene will experience the same growth or explosion that mobile content will, for example.
