Do people in South Korea or Japan, places with very high percent of households with broadband, pay by the MByte? I believe that they get a low entry price.

Another Book

In another diversion, I'm reading Catherine Drinker Bowen's Miracle at Philadelphia that is about the draft of the Constitution. The debate about the rich vs. the middle class was going on then too.

Another book I want to read is Mr. Lincoln's T-Mails by Tom Wheeler. It's about the role of the telegraph and Lincoln's use of it in the Civil War. But my book reviews of Pink's book and Li's book will come first.

I highly recommend these recent books:

Drive by Daniel H. Pink, and

Open Leadership by Charlene Li

Reviews in work. Both combine theory and practical advice.
