The Zenbu team is doing the same on a tiny scale in Cook Islands. A guy up there said we are like missionaries, bringing modernity to the local yokels. Heck, Africa could perhaps be the next region to use Zenbu. I hadn't thought of Africa. But with fibre flashing around, it could have a vast renaissance. Why would anyone want to live in Beijing when they can live in Angola with some fibre coming into the house? With cyberspace, there is no reason to be located anywhere in particular. It's not like building a car factory which has to be near a steel mill and close to power stations and handy to population centres for workers and customers, and not far from the paint producers, rail-heads, air ports etc etc No longer do Geeks have to pile into cities, stacked up 100 stories high, along with all the rest of the 3D material world. Blessed are the Geek, for they shall inherit the Earth. They can migrate to Cook Islands, Angola and anywhere else which is a nice place to live and that has fast, cheap, fibre. Mqurice
