Thanks Prabir. I do agree that developing countries have a long way to go, re QR codes, However, I am also noting that QR codes use is perhaps still not particularly high in the US, and perhaps more specifically in non-technical fields.

As you rightly said the key factors for QR business not picking up are (1) ignorance about QR codes, (2) non-availability of Mobile enabled web content and (3) usage of Smart phone for other than normal usage.

We at Queaar enable people to create mobile enabled content in few minutes and create QR codes for the same. We hope to eradicate the ignorance among people around QR and let people engage with the codes.

Hopefully, all of us in the Caribbean will jump into the digital trend sooner rather than later as there are a lot of things we are truly missing out on the technology side.
