Thanks for your feedback. Shrinking content is really what can solve the affordability issue at some point. But still, internet fees are pretty high (according to average income) in many developing countries and also people aren't able to buy devices. But we'll definitely discuss your point!
- kjs3 7y agoHappy to discuss further if you care to. Helped build out cellular networks in less developed countries (LA) in my younger days and we looked at these issues. I haven't been deep into it in a while, but issues of high cost in these markets was as often as not a function of monopoly or other protectionism (i.e. there was often a government backed incumbent carrier or other government fees/tariffs/taxes that inflated end-user costs). So maximizing the content/bandwidth ratio was always a priority. The WAP protocol was one thing we thought would help, but it never really took off. Good times.
- jibla 7y agoHey, thanks for your insight. The challenge we have at the moment is that we are not as technical as needed for this. And this might be a totally different direction for us, which is out of our expertise field. But I've heard you and will keep that in mind. Here is my Linkedin account (https://www.linkedin.com/in/george-jibladze-23923b17/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/george-jibladze-23923b17/) I would be glad connecting with you and if you allow applying with some questions if we have any.
