Singapore
IN today's digitally connected world, Singapore exhibits an interesting dichotomy that is perhaps unique. At 85 per cent, the country has the world's highest level of smartphone penetration and its population is among the most tech savvy in the world. Yet in online advertising, which should thrive in such an environment, the Republic ranks well below international averages.
