Firstly I’d like to thank Adriana for asking me to contribute to Carphone Warehouse’s Preparing for the Future report where we dug into the countries who are at the forefront of preparing themselves for the exponential future and building it… and the ones who aren’t and who are likely to get steam rollered by it.
