[batoure]

I have traveled pretty widely and the most remote place I ever went to was an un-mapped village in sub-Saharan Africa a 16 hour drive from the nearest large city. I was there last about 4 years ago, at the time I felt the most away from civilization I had ever been, then my cellphone rang, I had 5 bars.

In January a man I met in that village sent me a friend request on Facebook they have 3g now.

aren't really profit centers. but bringing internet service to as many people as possible... is worth its weight in gold to major telecoms.
