So the web is more dominant in Asia and Africa because the is more readily available on feature phones than apps.<p>Will that change when smartphones have higher penetration? That makes the assumption that smartphones will stay popular long enough for them to trickle down to everyone. And that the Web will not have evolved to fill in the gaps that make apps better. And that the ecosystem of the mobile web being currently built via feature phones won&#x27;t simply transition to smartphones.
