Maybe that is what Joe is getting at......those people who are "out of the loop". Joe? >.... but India is far from the 'start > up' situation you suggest. And yet there are many people looking for their start-up in this already started-up industry. How might Joe's efforts help them? > Hate to burst a bubble here, but this is not really realistic > at this stage. Anything more you have to offer to help make this more realistic would be of benefit! I am dirt-poor myself here in the USA and would also benefit more specific input over a general "not realistic" pronouncement. I don't mean to be insulting, but if I am being "unrealistic" due to the lack of understanding or adequete information, please, fill me in in. You seem to have a better prespective than I have. Do you have a better long-range plan for India or for those of us in the US who might be looking for a productive means of earning an income? Robert.
