It's not just dial-up - many people in the UK only have mobile

bandwidth allowance (for some contracts, only 1GB a month). For some
of those people, downloading a DVD-sized ISO would be impossible.
I understand bending backward to help those people in backward countries who
cannot download, but should we be bothered with those, in the first world, who
are too stingy to get a proper Internet connection ?

Hi Renaud:
I think it's more of a question of availability. Sometimes broadband
hookup are not physically available and dial-up as well. Recent advances
in technology have made mobile hookup available for people in these
regions. This is true for 1st world and Developing Countries.
