Bringing Your Business Online in China

8/3/2009 - Part of TCBN's Geeks on a Plane Event Series
Steve Mushero, currently CEO and CTO of China Net Cloud, shares wisdom about startups in China he learned while CTO at Tudou.com.  He presented these thoughts at the Geeks on a Plane tour in Beijing.  Special thanks to 163.com (NetEase) for producing this video. Steve Mushero has several years navigating internet-based businesses in China.  His experience is especially useful for companies entering the China market, or for startups in China.  According to Mushero, the biggest problem facing these companies is the internet infrastructure.  The internet in China is slower, there are fewer (specifically, only one) internet service providers, and many regulations unfamiliar to foreigners.  On the other hand, the data-handling capabilities are huge, much greater than in the United States, and at much lower costs.
