By the end of 2009:

1. More people will receive their daily newspaper by email than read the printed versions.

2. QL will be the most popular website in Qatar, leap-frogging Qatar University and the Ministry of Interior.

3. The Qatar Computer Society will be formed, giving professional accreditation to those working in IT.

4. Vodafone will launch their services in June. Customers will be ranting on QatarLiving about network problems until after Ramadan.

5. QSTP software projects will be slow to get off the ground, as US companies concentrate on core business.

6. The Peninsula might get a new website.
