Against the backdrop of a troubled global economic environment, the past few years have been difficult and challenging for business in general and the ICT sector in particular. With the emphasis on protecting profitability, many businesses have focused more on cutting costs and investment than upon looking at ways to innovate, to gain competitive advantage, and win market share. Now, however, the improving global economy and the emergence of wireless Internet technology is helping to usher in an exciting new era of growth and opportunity for the ICT sector.
