“I would flag the work we do with small and medium-sized businesses. So this is with the DTI (Department of Trade and Industry). It’s to enable small businesses to get a presence online and figure out how do they connect with the rest of the world,” Google global vice president for government affairs and public policy Karan Bhatia was quoted by a Presidential Communications Office (PCO) statement as saying.
