I'm not happy when I hear another major broadcaster is going to cut back
or stop broadcasting to the USA, but I think shortwave will be around
for a very long time.

In certain parts of the world, internet connections are scarce.

No, you've got it all wrong..
In MOST of the world, internet connections are non existant..
Even if you have an internet connection, you can't move your computer to teh
next room
I find computers fun, but no replacement for radio / shortwave radio..

Some
parts of the USA don't have affordable access to high speed connections.

The average U.S. family makes $50,000 / Year..
- Food, housing,clothing, medical care, transportation,
High speed Internet access.. .

( Quick ! ! which one doesn't fit ? )
