I eagerly await further news from Google, but my hunch is that a local Kenya Google office, steeped in "traditional" Kenyan business practices, decided to go down this route (and it's not the screen-scraping that's the issue, it's the lying to customers); and Google (as a corporation) has failed in keeping sufficient control of standards at its outlying reaches. Ensuring your corporate ethos percolates to all the little branch offices is as crucial, as difficult, and as fatal if done wrong, as it was to any world-spanning empire of history... > > --Venkat > ABS - -- Alaric Snell-Pym http://www.snell-pym.org.uk/alaric/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk8dUKUACgkQRgz/WHNxCGoRSQCfRU5MYXCX3rTOQm23O8Q/2QgH FiwAnRwKpplxXu1cpk9Y8be8PKIAQrQc =3oiY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
