jjs64: You have no idea what you're talking about--do some research first. Have you read that China has 1 billion POOR PEOPLE or is this entirely your own unsubstantiated view? Have you been to China recently (or ever)?China is the end game in Asia (ex-Japan). I will grant you that, currently, the per capita income in China is far lower than in most other developed countries, but to paint one billion people as "poor" is a show of how ignorant many Westerners can be. In fact, China represents the hottest telecommunications markets in the world (from mobile phones to ISPs to VoIP, etc.).cheap computer comprises of the monitor, then, hey, you just made Internet access that much more affordable if you use their existing TV set. Choose a low-end processor, burn some basic apps into ROM and throw in a bit of RAM and a hard drive--the "computer"/internet access device (really a TV set-top box) becomes even more affordable. This is what MyWeb is doing, Microsoft is doing (Venus project), and Pacific Convergence is doing (backed by Richard Li--you probably have never heard of this extremely successful businessman. He sold his media company, StarTV, to Murdoch for over US$1bn a few years back). Are you implying that these heavy hitters don't know what they're doing?
