>>HAHAHAHAHA. Let me tell you about the 1 billion Indians. The vast majority of them defecate in the open. So before they can think of cellphones, they would want some indoor toilets (or at least some water to wash their behinds).>>

Again you miss the point. Even the US economy does not provide good housing for 1 billion people.

When I lived in Mumbai 20 years ago, one had to go 20 kilometers from the city center to get reasonably priced housing. Now one has to go 60 kilometers. The geographical area of the metropolitan area has tripled. Highly dense apartment blocks have been built in the corridor. I don't see the same level of housing development in the NY/NJ area in the same time period.

"Dipy?" Is that a nickname for "Dip Sh*t?"

HAHAHAHAHA

Did you learn this discussion forum expression from the Yahoo! boards, where you must have come from?

People on this board welcome counter views on QCOM, but you've contributed nothing to the conversation other than some juvenile taunts.

You sir are an idiot - people would rather have a technological gadget than many creature comforts. Obviously you've never even been south of the US border where satellite dishes are more common than flush toilets.
