| Internet by Country - China is leading the pack |
| 2008-01-18 07:51:39 |
Well, the time has come: China is just 3million short of becoming the largest Internet Market. The government’s official reporting agency, CINIC, claims the number to have reached 210million (up from 137million at the end of 2006). Which roughly puts the adoption of Internet Access by the next 3million in just two weeks–practically [...]...

| Alibaba China Stock of 1.3 Billion = Underrated? |
| 2007-10-16 22:09:34 |
Not to replace the noise of my fellow bloggers on this one, I thought I would just write a quick one.

Sina.com today released news that The9 (NCTY) has secretly signed an agreement with Shanghai Alliance Investment to take over 50% of the stake of MSN China for half of msn’s estimated value (200million). According to report:

So, finally, according to some sources, Chinese internet-users were denied the access to www.yandex.ru. However, Yandex accounts its site faulty operations not for any governmental political decision, but for difficulties experienced by a certain internet provider.
