Perhaps this is so, but I believe that telecommunications policy and 
pricing is actually more of an issue. Software helps, but infrastructure 
is necessary for the software and hardware to work. Improper policy 
surrounding infrastructure seems to be a problem in many countries where 
I have had my feet on the ground and PC on my lap - this being Latin 
America and the Caribbean.

 From what I have read and heard, other parts of the world are quite 
similar in this respect. And so, there I go... beating that policy drum 
again... (sorry)
