Dead in america & russia maybe, for the six million other ppl on earth, it still my have relevancy. just like gopher & fido do.Where I live 1 hr from my capital city in a first world country ,Australia, we are rolling
out fibre to every home....
Yet for just one example, the huge horticultural industry here in the tropics runs on fax!, people look at me strange when i tell them i cant receive text msgs because i have voip phone sitting on a data sim in my phone, & when I tell them send me email
instead, people(not all) my age & under stare straight thru me in horror thinking about jumping on their desktop machines looking up hotmail on the 'Netscape' to send me email to their phone.
I move into a house in town for 100gb dsl the cheapest i can get is $90/month with $60 connection. & I live in the central town of the 3rd biggest population centre of my state which is 2000+km long........
Reality is fellas that america is currently blessed by God & it shows. 10usd for unlimited fiberoptic?
Most people in 3rd & 2d world stilll use sms.Or in the case of North korean doctors treating aids patients , FIDO.
that is.. internetworked dialup BBS.
the innovation imo has stopped from the first world.the task, fellas seems to have fallen to our hands.
Onya Kevin, great job mate.

I don't know about you, but I have unlimited SMS/MMS. Along with
unlimited calls and Internet, that is.
