3. Problems for people in areas with low bandwidth, huge costs or no internet connection at all.
Some years ago I read the story of an innocent american scientist. You know, the US have always had good internet connections.
Innocently, he sent an e-mail with scientific papers to a Russian scientist of the same field, which was several MB big.
This e-mail, that's what the Russian scientists said in that article, was so hge, it consumed several months salary of him. So high were the costs back then !
Internet connections are imho rather a "western" thing. I don't think anyone on this globe has the possibility to build up such a connection.
Let's say in a country there are only internet cafe's, and nothing else. No other internet available.
How would a person be able to play the game, then ?
In areas where the connection is well established and doesn't cost much, it makes sense. But on the other hand that excludes several other players in areas which are not so good equipped.
