Are statistics really relevant in this case?
If someone who cannot afford a media gets one,
is that not reward in itself.


The Freemedia was started in the beginning.
To get media to those who *cannot* afford to buy it.
Personally I would change the terms to exclude slow internet,
as a reason to get Freemedia, (they can purchase online\offline?)

But as someone not living in India all I have to go on is,
what I have seen in Freemedia,
that somey Indian people seem to be unable\unwilling
to help their countrypeople.
Unless there is some payback.

But, I repeat I don't live there.
and only comment as an outsider.
