The Gartner graphic I've embedded here explains why they're uneasy about the near-term: »»  Menara TM conferred MSC Malaysia "Cybercenter" statusMenara TM now a “Global Connectivity Hub” for ICT and knowledge-based Industries as it was recently awarded MSC Malaysia “Cybercentre” status by the Prime Minister of Malaysia. »»  Bridging the Digital Divide: Projek M.A.IN.
