Hi Fouad, Alan here again.
I tried to view your video but somehow it is taking ages to download. Maybe the broadband we have is a bit slow. To my view the greatest challenges in the years ahead is not to what levels Internet will take the human race to, but rather can Internet reaches out to the other 5 billion unconnected or excluded. Technology today is only able to reach out to the 1 billion or less people of the world and as it progresses to greater heights it would only be these 1 billion that would benefit. The others would be left even further behind. I think your offerings do have great future in such directions and emphasis should be into this direction.
