if seacom completes, and it is looking likely (yay!), this will be great. but Alan Mauldin, research director at TeleGeography, a telecommunications market research company, said Africa was the last major area where broadband access was not widespread. try much of the pacific islands, central asia (the stans), myanmar, much of india, laos, cambodia, and large swaths of northern china and the middle of russia. and i am sticking to places with non-sparse population. americans are a bit naive about the rest of the world. randy
