 Hi Jim --

Google and Facebook (and Microsoft !?) are going to solve not in that far future the issue with Internet global accessibility/acceptability/coverage  :)

>I am concerned about moving everything to the cloud as not every region has good internet service and if you live here, under the cell phone monopolies, the prices for cell-phone coverage can be excessive. One client's business pays over thirty percent of their company's income in internet/wireless/cell coverage, every month and they only get off so cheap because I have them hosting their own websites and they have local applications.

>I understand Putin and wish you would extend our Prime minister's visit, indefinitely, as I am sure the two of them would get along very well as their philosophy's are very similar.

>Most of the business mobile apps' functionality is expected to be hosted/run "on cloud" with not more than 10%-20% of total app's codebase being UI part - so assuming "cloud" part is done UI part development when using hybrid or native approach shouldn't be very time consuming I suppose...

><<< PS You are doing a great hosting job? Are the streets very crowded? >>>
>Do you  mean current G20 summit? - they have got dedicated highway, which was built specifically for them, and most of G20 participants live outside of Spb downtown so G20 summit doesn't add any/that much new auto traffic jams. But local airport is paralyzed AFAIK. And Mr.Obama and also China officials decided to stay in the city AFAIHH so they could introduce quite some traffic jams in the mornings/evenings while driving to/from summit meetings.
>I must note I'm out of the city till the middle of the next week so I can just read about G20 summit from Internet, I do not watch local TV as it's a biased pro-Putin propaganda.
>The street do not look more crowded than usually - here are webcams (see live view at the middle of the following web pages) - city downtown -  http://vpiter.com/web-camera-ploshad-vosstaniya/ ,    http://vpiter.com/web-camera-gostiniy-dvor/  ,  http://vpiter.com/web-camera-admiral/  ,   http://vpiter.com/web-camera-kazan/  - other ones -   http://vpiter.com/web-camera/  ...
