Cmon, you can't really expect an audience base that is probably mostly introverted and cynical to actually find joy in reading about a positive find in a third world country could you? In all seriousness though, I think this can be well developed if it isn't exploited by privatization. Since, ya know, most things that would be greatly beneficial to developing countries usually are.

It's true. My first thought when reading "if it is managed properly" was "yeah, right." We humans tend to fuck things up.

You see? Cynical.

There's a difference between caring about something and thinking it's intellectually stimulating. There's no need to insult people because they think HN is a bad place to post good news that has no takeaway value.

(I feel dirty for using the word 'takeaway' but I can't think of anything that fits better to mean an overly-broad version of 'learning'.)

Aren't startups all about finding a need and filling it? Isn't that what has happened here?

Careful, you'll wake the Randroids.
