Perhaps the fact that a thin client needs something to *connect* to. Consider using existing capped web connections to do data processing of all sorts - the minute you pay for your last MB, you shut down your machine? Wow, awesome solution - no viruses, no trojans and of course, no productivity. But thats not a consideration AT ALL, is it? Gimme a break. Thin clients will remain a no-no till India sees better connectivity. But that shouldn't stop people from offering web based services which take a fraction of the bandwidth a thin client would. After all, you do your own processing and only transmit/receive small amounts of data.
