For some countries it is more feasible for people to
use mobile technology than to try to put in place the
fiber, and copper necessary to allow them to communicate
using some of what might be called the more traditional
methods.
If they are that lacking in mere wires, they probably aren't in a position
to profit from access to the Internet in the first place. That is, if they
lack telephones (and that's all they need for broadband, or at least it's
the better part of the battle), why would they be surfing the Web? First
things first.
WAP, and mobile technology is a necessary component to
the future of the global economy.
Countries without landlines are not going to be a part of the global economy
unless they upgrade in a major way very soon.
Actually this just reinforces my point. Countries have no infrastructure at
all and already we are trying to sell them WAP. Hmm.
