Pierre, I don't mind harping on this, as long as you (and the thread) don't. The infrastructure is in place, at no cost to the individual, the village, or the central government. If you buy a phone, you have a complete phone system. Yes, an expensive phone system. Americans balk at $2.00 per minute, others, less fortunate, will do more than balk. They just won't buy it. On another note: There has been talk of poor management WRT a slow rollout of G* service and coverage. My feeling is that the nature of the beast necessitates that the sales/PR force would be spread pretty thin. Even if there were a salesforce of a thousand crack troops, they would be spread out all over the globe in search of new markets in some very obsure locations and among some wildly varying clientele. To pull this off on a limited budget will look "slow," perhaps inept in the early going. But if the product lives up to the promise, and if the money doesn't dry up first, $16 is gonna look like free stock in the not too distant future. AM

Pierre, Oh well, I've made my point as best I can - don't mean to keep harping. It's just that the significance of this fundamental difference has only gradually become apparent to me. As they say in the Dodge commercials - "this changes everything" - and in this case it does. That was MY WHOLE POINT a few days ago! You're preaching to the choir here! Batteries/Fuel/Power is an issue, but besides that, there ain't much more infrastructure needed You're right, this changes everything! Sure there are other little issues, but conceptually, a Government Body/Agency can provide phone services to their citizens in need quickly and cheaply. Onward! MileHigh PS- See my post on who should be going after these opportunities. The answer is the SP and G* marketing, it should be a joint sales call, I do them all the time....
