I'm sure what you mean by South Asia refering to Korea, Taiwan, Japanese and Hong Kong, etc.
I think I can help but first you must answer the following questions:
1) Where is your company located? It matters to clarify the term 'oversea'.:)
2) What kind of e-learning management system are you selling?
3) You mentioned your company has a connection with a Korean telco. Does your software product has something related to mobile business? I'm not sure whether a Korean Telco could help you otherwise.
3) To identify the best strategy, you must tell us your goal and your target customers. Say, you'd have completely different strategies in dealing with corporate and public customers.
4) About finding of distributor, first you must answer 2)
5) The nature of partnership that could give you maximum profit may vary from one market to another(e.g. telco might demand huge share of profit in partnership, depends on the degree of monopolization there), and again, you must first answer 2).:)
6) Does your product support Unicode? Forget about South Asia market otherwise.
If can't figure out any of the above then I think you should seek help from professional consultants, or approach the local Government directly. E.g. you could seek help here for the question concerning international business in Hong Kong. Probaly you could find info in doing business in China there.
A couple years ago there's a web-search site called filequest.com(don't go there now, read on). Unlike any other web-search site, this site does not only index normal website/ftp, it also index files on personal computers which has shared their local harddisks to public without password! Yeah, needless to say, all victims are Windows users who were ignorant enough to open share of their harddisks while connecting to Internet.
Filequest even created a program called 'Simba' which could help you download those files in others local harddisk without mapping it first.
With this you could a vast collection of personal photos by the keywords 'naked','nude','girlfriend','wife'. Of course we couldn't download from poweroff'd computers, but the first tens hit usually connectable(still poweron). In theory you could get more than media files, but the site restricted you to download other format. However, it couldn't stop you from mapping the drives yourself.
This site is down and being taken by a spam site. Those where the days....
Now they want to reduce cost by cutting security, since if you don't have a password, you can't forget it.
You obviously not a BOIH(Bastard Operator In Hell):
"I lost my password."
"You've no password."
"What do you mean by no password? What's that big f%#*ing word on the screen saying 'Password'?"
"Just press Enter."
"small cap or all cap?"
"...."
It uses swing-like api and it doesn't has any overhead with pure java applet.
My friend who is a financial content provider which distribute information with the help of java applets. They just stuck with the problem with XP which does not come with Java support, which is very bad for their business because their users usually don't know(or don't want) to download and install a JRE. Let's see if it can help him.
United States of Microsoft today acquired Soviet Russia. According to their spokeman says, President Bill was upset about the fact that in Soviet Russia, Government buys corporations.
MS does that in an attempt to persude india Government Open Source is a non-issue when they can look at their code.
Shared source may help india Government to address the concern on hidden security issues, but it doesn't address the problem associated with vendor-lockup.
A Government officer(not US Govt) once told me they regret to chose Unisys for a satalite system few year back because Unisys just sold all the exclusive rights of this proprietary system to another company, and that company charges them outragous maintenance fee. They system is too critical and expensive to replace so they've to stuck with it. This year they've to cut a lot of resource to pay up the fee.
MS only grants right for them to look at the source code but this doesn't grant them right to distribute it to others, so they still need to rely on one vendor and fall into same vendor-lock hell.
I don't think India Government would be fooled by their deception. In view of their previous action I believe that they've more smart people in their Government then any other countries.:)
I could understand the problem with 'misrepresenting', but all mobile carriers, as well as ISP, always overbooking user subscriptions to maximize the usage. How could they draw a line there?
That's not exactly the poster is asking, because the doesn't want to click the menu for all document. However, it's the best solution because other converters suggested above could not transform the doucment so perfectly, as the transformation it's part of the Word itself.
May be he could write macro to automate the process?
The first thing he'd ask is to get a telephone line to dial up to the BBS he used to hang around to see if his ranking is still 'VIP - 1 hour time limit, 1 MB download limit' even he hasn't uploaded anything for the past 15 years.
Hopefully he could find his oldmates in the chatroom.
The rulings barely scratch MS, but at least it has made a precedent case and the public in general has aware of the whole issue. They will not excise the same practice in the very near future.
Sales1: "Our competitor dare to make reference to the word 'choice' in their brochure. Can I fuck them like we did before?"
Sales2: "Hold on, cowboy, we are buying media and researchers to prevent our crime being uncovered again. It wouldn't take too long don't worry"
Sales1: "Man I'm horny!"

The New York Times has an article [Sorry, tomorrow's article, no Google link yet]
I wish I could read it, but I've just been arrested for murdering Cowboy Neal tomorrow.
That remind me of a real story.

Just in case, check your shares now.
Consider this real case:
25 Years of pure programming experience
An IT Master degree from Stanford University
Married, but no kid
He's still looking for jobs for the past 1/2 year.
Be happy.
CD Player listens to you!
(At least people in Soviet Russia can grin on this)
That reminds me of a meeting when I worked for IBM.
Manager: "From now on we don't call *point at a thick pile of papers* these 'problem logs' or 'bugs', we call them 'Instances'."
Programmer: "So....we've...673 'Instances' pending right? Can we conclude this 2-hour meeting so that we could continue fixing bugs?"
All Managers: "INSTANCES"
Poor programmer: "Argh...sorry, 'Instances', right?....can we go now?"
You don't get it. Whether you are BOFH or BOIH is depending on whether you make people suffering or people make you suffering. :)
So here's what upper management wants to do: remove the security from all of our Windows 2000 machines.
No sweat! *pause 3 sec.* It's being done!
*thank God not being asked to remove security holes*
Now they want to reduce cost by cutting security, since if you don't have a password, you can't forget it.
You obviously not a BOIH(Bastard Operator In Hell):

Damn those richie developed countries like disposing industrial wastage to developing countries....oh wait, disclosing not disposing?...nevermind then

Doesn't it sound so familiar?

You're looking for insight on Slashdot, that's where you're wrong.
Bullshit, what's all that Insightful +5 posts that were picked up by moderators who has insight....hmm...nevermind.
Kudos to the KDE team for making sure that the product is fully baked before release.!
On the contrary, MS makes sure that their products are fully toasted after release.
YOu can find rich source of articles, tutorials and tips here.
:)
If you are so obsessive with paper book, print them out. Most of the articles there are in pdf format.

If you jerk off, terrorists win.

with the roadmap looking bleak for Alpha after the HP-Compaq merger, we are likely to see the last new Alpha generation by 2004.
The efficiency gain by the merger has way beyond Debian Alpha team's imagination!
The first thing he'd ask is to get a telephone line to dial up to the BBS he used to hang around to see if his ranking is still 'VIP - 1 hour time limit, 1 MB download limit' even he hasn't uploaded anything for the past 15 years.
Hopefully he could find his oldmates in the chatroom.
Imagine telling this to a geek just back from a 15-year coma:
"HP finally decides to retire Alpha..."
"HP bought Alpha?!"
"Yeah, after they merged with Compaq, which bought DEC..."
"Compaq bought DEC????!!!!!"
