10/40 Window - Got What It Takes?

According to Vinoth Ramachandra, "Nine out of ten people in the world have never made a telephone call in their lives. Tokyo has three times as many telephone lines as the whole continent of Africa"

This is how imbalanced technologies and wealth are in the world. We assume the majority of the people in the world have access to such "Advancements". Nope most people don't have a phone, can't afford a phone so if your family & friends are all in the same boat"Who ya goin ta call?"
This is the reality in the last frontiers of the earth,
