The Second Billion Smartphone Users

Burmese_daysI speak with little fear of contradiction when I tell you this is the first TechCrunch article posted from Myanmar aka Burma. Only a few years ago the Internet here was both tightly censored and insanely slow. But now that this country is "on the path to democracy," according to Daw Aung Sun Suu Kyi herself, Free Wi-Fi signs are widespread, and its Internet is freewheeling and ... merely incredibly slow. So slow that it often reminds me of the 2400 baud modems of yore. Progress!
