Interestingly, the example of Celtel’s abandonment of on-network roaming in favour of integrating all its African networks is used to hint at something similar in Europe. Well - why not? It’s not as if Viviane Reding is going to let you keep a roaming premium much longer. http://www.receiver.vodafone.com/20-africas-grassroots Vodafone’s Receiver magazine is off doing a little social anthropology around mobile phones in Africa.

(Otherwise the 2x2 would lose its pleasing simplicity and become kinda messy.) Fantastic site, by the way. I'm a virtual worlds newbie and am finding your articles and presentations on SL really interesting. Thanks, Bobert Hi Aleks,

I suppose what I'm trying to represent here is the *potential* of each media - the idealised practice. And so YouTube would live in this static representation in the upper right corner, but perhaps not as far over on the 'participation' scale as Second Life or Warcraft, which require the user/Resident/player to be active in order to engage with the property.
