Comment on When do you think the US will have free high speed Internet access? by Wallstreeter

Several issues here:
You are correct that those countries that did not have phone/cable wires installed are able to skip a step and go straight to towers etc.
Also, high speed internet is becoming free in certain areas — new york has been working on plans to make Manhattan a free wi-fi zone, however, I doubt it will be free in the long-run as costs increase.
As to the cost of high-speed in your area, consider that the cost is not just laying cable but also putting a node in your area. The farther you are away from the central point the worse the data speed so you normally have to be within a few miles (maybe 1.5 miles). Outside this boosters are needed to support the higher speed. You could consider paying the higher price and installing a system yourself, but I think it would be more than what you pay now.
SO…when is high speed going to be free …. never. When will it get to your area? Either when it is a) economically feasible or b) when a fund (like the telephone companie USF) is created that taxes people in high density areas to help subsidize your costs.

Only other choice is to move to a city.

Probably will never be free. How do you think that Comcast and SBC make their profit? Sure isn't with phone service.

Comment on How do I find marketing people in USA, who will work on commissions-only basis to market for IT consulting? by Computer Consulting 101

If you’re tight on cash but can spare a few hours a week to do some breakfast or lunch meetings, or meet for coffee or drinks…

You should be ACTIVELY building up a network with other trusted business advisors, such as accountants, management consultants, and deeply-niched, non-competing computer consultants

Also, please note that the highest quality leads will come from

1) Getting involved in local B2B organizations

2) Participating in relevant local B2B trade shows/expos

3) Speaking at local organizational meetings/seminars

4) Holding your own topic-appropriate seminars

Most good sales people would not accept the deal you’re proposing… and you’d end up starting out on the wrong foot with most of your new clients. (Who "owns" the client?!?)

So I’d strongly recommend investing an hour or two, contemplating the above to come up with a stronger marketing plan.

Best of luck,

Undertake or commission market research to discover the retail rice prices, key market players and niche (if any). Basmati rice from Pakistan is often much better quality than Indian, who often repack and sell it as Indian basmati. Also have business contacts in the Middle East, Pakistan and India.
