About 1.5 billion people in India, Egypt and Pakistan. I know I'm going to get something racist back like "who cares about those people etc"

635918 2008-02-01 02:01:00 No, I say "who cares" because it's their internet access across the other side of the globe.

Don't pidgeonhole me man!!

635919 2008-02-01 04:04:00 Those in that area who "care" are a small minority. About 5.3% of the population of India use the Internet; 7% in Pakistan, 8% in Egypt. The majority of the populations have more important concerns. (The figure for NZ is about 75%). Graham L (2)

Hmm, 5.3% of 1.2 billion people MUST be less that 75% of 4.2m right? Jesus Graham, dont you think about all of this before you post? So what, a country that has only a "few" internet users doesnt count? Or is it just cos its India and the rest?

635922 2008-02-02 05:13:00 Yes beeswax, I think about things before I post them. Do you? My first few words were "Those in that area who care ...". 94.7% of 1.2 billion is a hell of a lot of people in India who don't care about the Internet being down. They are the ones who have more important things to worry about. Like where the next meal is coming from. Graham L (2)
