"Meanwhile, merchants like Assaf Nehoray are taking their money elsewhere, getting abundant clicks, but no real revenue on Internet advertising campaigns."
Exactly where he is taking his money ? I mean what are the other alternatives to drive targetted clicks to your website ?
"The crunch point is penetration of cheap home computing and connectivity rather than the language barrier"
correct but I wish to again stress on the point that translating all o/s and related stuff to the mother tongue (however daunting the task may be !) is the only viable solution since teaching them english is one thing making them "think" in english is another.
Good initiative but unless the operating system, office programs , games are translated into their local language it will not benefit much. In India still the internet and outsourcing are the possesion of a prized few who know english. There are many more analtycal minds tied up just for the lack of english knowledge. If only could the Indian government unshackle the internet and make it truly multilingual then it is true freedom for indians.
