Tito...no offense to the 7000 island inhabitants of the Philippines. My point should have been that the inhabitants of rural areas of the countries I mentioned do not have the income or infrastructure to support a profitable cell phone industry.

With an income of less than $2000.00 a year rural citizens of any country have no need of cell phones or computers.

Cell phones are over rated...When I lived in Africa in the congo... (no electricity...no telephone) some one 50 to 80 miles away would be killed (or murdered) and everyone in my village would know about it with an hour. They did use some drums (The ultimate broadband) to relay messages and the neat part was everyone knew the the news that cared to listen. Short wave radios are preferred because using them is free.

Tito...are short wave radios used in very rural areas of the Philippines?

I also did see a lot of short wave radios used in the jungle areas of S. America.

JMO....Jerome
