Of course, here we must make allowance for the fact that from the Valley the world looks somewhat different. The tasks facing local markets cannot always use such reports to adjust their strategy.</p>

<p>With such influence, it is likely that Kleiner Perkins is not interpreting trends, but setting them.</p>

<p>At the same time, there are a large number of extensive studies for local markets that more accurately reflect the trends for these regions. The World Bank's digital technology reports usually provide an understanding of how to develop Internet markets in the current economic and political situation.</p>
<p>For example, GSMA is an association that assesses the singapore mobile phone numbers database contribution of the economy and Internet-related markets to the GDP of the country in question. Their reports provide an overview of the current state and development trends of the so-called mobile economy. The study is divided into areas: world, Europe, Africa, Asia, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia and islands, India, North America.</p>

<p>You won't find Russia in the GSMA study. The "gap" is in some way "covered" by RAEC, which for the fifth year in a row has been publishing the "Runet Economy" study, which almost completely corresponds in content and methodology to the GSMA and World Bank reports.</p>

<p>Mary Meeker's theses and trends can be trusted and are worth listening to, but one should always try global trends on the local market. In the field of digital technologies, we are several years behind the US, therefore, what is happening there now awaits us in a few years, and only individual teams capable of quickly changing and adapting to the conditions of the global market can "take off". For large companies, such studies are only a vector showing how not to do things, and not a guide to action.</p>
