Those are all immature web markets. By the time the majority of web users in those countries spend a significant amount of money online, they probably wont be using Opera anymore. If you're looking for more file-sharing users, sure, target these markets. But if you want to make money today then don't waste your time. (I've lived in, started/run businesses, and produced web products in Eastern Europe).

The European mobile web market is 'immature'. #shithnsays

  Not what I meant at all. I just meant that in my experience, the counties listed have relatively low median disposable incomes, and are generally not inclined to pay for web products.

Why wouldn't they be using Opera anymore? They will be used to Opera, and the brand will be well known to most people. Why do you think Google is desperate to enter these markets right now?
