With regards to South Asia, where the most widely used modems are approx. 14
kbps, maybe some 36 kbps and rarely 56 kbps, where broadband/DSL is mostly
unheard of, efficiency in data transmission is of paramount importance...
how can we convince the south asian user to create websites in an encoding
that would make his client's 14 kbps modem as effective (rather,
ineffective) as a 4.6 kbps modem?
