Sam, our 'real world' (if partial) response to that question is the
opportunities of tele-work. During Global Learn Day 5 we hope to show
the connections between radio, telecenters, basic keyboard training
and on line job acquisition. One illustration will come from an
Indian firm which offers programming services worldwide. Another will
be e-commerce developments in South America. In Mexico we are about
to launch a project in the border city of Mexicali, where, among
other things, the hope is that we can slow down some fence jumping.
Why risk your life for a job washing cars in a foreign country when
you can get a much better job tending web sites from home?

Those who know of on-line telework activities are kindly requested to
contact me. We would like to feature those.
