my goodness! there are actually 'people' here that don't think the satellite program is not for the benefit of common man? I have listed several benefits which don't seem to be heard or understood. More than likely posters such as CM and Mo293 etc etc seem interested in just criticizing, even though many of their criticisms seem plain old 'hapless widowed old women commenting on the bride's dress' (that is a saying that I have roughly translated). If more Pakistan jantha is like these people (I hope not) about science, that will explain why anti-science groups such as taleban gain power there!
