Middle income are making desperate attempts to keep their homes and in doing so are also in this bracket of little or no telecommunications. Well you'd say so what if thay can't make calls but what if they can't call 911 or the police in an emergency? I came across the Sullivan report which highlights this issue and I thought you might think it's interesting. http://www.newmillenniumresearch.org/archive/Sullivan_Report_032608.pdf The one very interesting fact is that pre paid cell phones such as TracFone present a very real relief to this problem - Technology can play a big role - This report also shows that by having a cell phone people have more opportunity to create business for themselves and thus create income, add to GNP and help in a small way to get the world back on track. So I'm pondering the brilliance of my Tracfone and wondering how I can make a difference in all this.

However... I think the 2009 needs to be in the same blue as the rest. So it sort of looks like a negative of the front. Make sense? My vote is for 2 for the English and 4 for the Khmer.
