It is that simple. I now have to think about re-adjusting for size, not too big, not too small etc. All not needed when you have enough speed (and diskspace in your mailbox etc of course) The only reason you have to perform multiple steps to send some simple pictures to your family is a lack of bandwidth.

Bandwidth is so important and this will change our lives drastically. Increased bandwidth for mobile devices will open up so much opportunities and benefits for businesses and individuals. It will change the media, telecom and infrastructural economies. It is the starting point for the internet of things. Thanks for backing me up Martin!

Whenever I visit other countries it sometimes feels like they stuck back in the Stone Age technologically. Not that I like to brag, of course! You're right re the economic benefits - who knows what they will be, but I reckon the countries that shoulder the costs and put in the effort now should see some return. Nobody knows exactly when or by how much, but I'm pretty sure it will happen - they are certain to attract the developers who are serious about moving the industry forward.
