Well, I am glad people are worried about accessibility in the so-called developing world. But I am also worried about such a biased view of what is being called developing world, where many different and complex realities are all thrown in the same bag. I haven't seen such a biased view, like the one below, for a while: "In the developing world, one book can often be a library, and to a techie this book may well be a bible. Access to books is difficult where there are few libraries or book stores, and there is often little money to pay for them." What I can tell is that books are not so difficult to get in some countries also considered 'developing something'. Economics has long reviewed such labels due to the wide variety of complex situations across the world. It's time to other fields to do the same...
I know there are some extreme situations in some countries regarding poverty and accessibility (to many things), but generalisation in this case is always a problem.
