Hello Nazrul, Language is a real issue especially since WSIS the promotion of the 100USD lap-top.
I have always questioned the notion of English as the defacto internet language. For countries/people who are not knowledgeable in this langauge, with the digital content mostly in English, that would mean the burden is AGAIN on those poorer/digital hungry countries/people. So how good it is to give them a lap-top while they cannot read what is there? I have spoke out about language divide for the past 3,4 years. But, small voice generates no punch. After all people who is on this list precisely because they know English, if not English is their native language. They don't feel the pain of those who are locked out because they lack the language ability.
