Heh. That works if the content you have is on the same network.
Now, even if I don't host your content, I will expect you to pay me because I control an intermediate pipe. You don't have to like it, you just have to pay. Keep in mind that this is over and above any deal that I make with your provider.
You are talking to a native Mumbaikar. Trains don't stop outside my house, but they are close enough for a 10 minute bus ride and then a two minute walk. I don't care about CDs, I can just read a book (or two!) in the train. It is close enough to my home that I can walk over in 30 minutes if needed.
A train every 6 minutes at off-peak hours is decently good enough.
Oh, and the trains almost work through the night, as well as the buses. You don't need a sunroof (lots of windows), and the buses do swing past the SO's place.
Oh, and speaking of more expensive, I can afford a car, but I can't afford the parking:).
It is perfectly possible to break into programming later. You are working for an ISP. See if you can move laterally into Sysadmin/Networking. Sysadmin tends to offer more programming opportunities, networking a bit less. These won't be complex programs, but you will be a far better programmer for knowing the admin skills.
You might find that these jobs suck, but last through them for a year or two. Once you get past the crappy "create user accounts and take backups" part of the job, you will find plenty of opportunities for automation. Code up your solutions.
Also, join a few related mailing lists. You not only stay informed, but you also get to "network" with people. The more you help, the more respect you get and the more you learn.
At this point, you know how to code, how to debug, what limitations you have to live with in implementation, what information is good for debugging and what isn't, how to design to scaleup, what security issues you need to worry about, what documentation is needed....
Oh, and you won't be writing crappy business applications either during these three or four years while you increase your skillsets.
The food and water problem is slightly different. That is a cost of distribution issue.
So if you Americans want to really help, stop driving cars and switch to mass transit (or electric cars and nuclear power). The lowering of fuel prices will help them far more than any financial assistance.
Now if these cars would just park themselves far from where they drop me off
Out here, we call that a taxi. There are even bigger vehicles available, which run on fixed routes and are called buses. And then we also have trains. Perhaps you need to explore alternatives?
Hey, Indian banks have been offering these features for a few years now. I have been using these services for ~ 7 years (ever since I got an ATM card).
And the menus are not confusing, they are actually laid out pretty well. (One additional option - other services, then just go down one or two levels more to get to the precise service you want). Cash withdrawal and cheque deposits are totally different services and have different buttons.
The problem is uploads. The Internet is moving away from the client server model for data transfers yet again. Upstream bandwidth is your choke, not downstream.
Uusers, salesdroids and manglement. (In the same tone as lies, damn lies, and statistics).

It would also help to complain to the ISP. In this case:

The problem is that I don't know if these skills are the sort of thing you can just learn. I've seen plenty of techie MBAs that have no aptitude for leading.
Can this stuff really be learned?
In my experience, yes. However, this is learnt in the early years of school, not later. A lot of people have no leadership skills, and no desire to lead. However, they do have analytical skills, and the ability to articulate them well. I have a nasty suspicion that it tends to boil down to
However, I have no numbers to justify my suspicion, just a gut feeling, so take this with a very large grain of salt.
Leadership skills are the easiest to learn (experience). Articulation is next (practice), while analytical thinking is the hardest (concentration, the ability to stay on a single problem for hours, wrapping up loose ends...).

Been there, done that. Worked out fine.
Cars don't scale. Public transport does.
Nah, we will patent going to work over the Internet.

Your problem is the dumb administrator. Fix that.
7 days is reasonable for retention of that information. It allows abuse desks to track down complaints and see who the real spammer was..
India is also in range of Chinese and US warheads. OTOH, we don't care about them, we don't cower in fright that a nuclear war may erupt tomorrow.
Que sera sera.
Never dealt with accounts or CxOs, have you?

They hire quite a few open source developers. The money might not be very obviously going to the project itself, but the contributions exist.
