How many years do you think it will take before the AVERAGE consumer in China, India, Russia, Brazil..... would demand a cellular phone which can download data at a few mgs?

I would say a long time for celluar but as you pointed out the WLL will be in demand. I saw a show on China and in the schools they are teaching kids about PC's at the age of 6. Chinas goal is to have 2 students share 1 PC. The instructors said the kids learn so fast it's unbeliveable. They will be craving to down load as they grow up and then the demand will grow in the cellular area. To me the Asians have a gift for making the young beleive that education is a gift and to take all you can get. To think that one of the qualifications to graduate high school in a California school was to be able to read a tv guide and fill out a job application makes me wonder .
