Are statistics really relevant in this case? If someone who cannot afford a media gets one, is that not reward in itself. The Freemedia was started in the beginning. To get media to those who *cannot* afford to buy it. Personally I would change the terms to exclude slow internet, as a reason to get Freemedia, (they can purchase online\offline?) But as someone not living in India all I have to go on is, what I have seen in Freemedia, that somey Indian people seem to be unable\unwilling to help their countrypeople. Unless there is some payback. But, I repeat I don't live there. and only comment as an outsider. -- Regards, Frank Murphy UTF_8 Encoded Friend of fedoraproject.org _______________________________________________ india mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/india
