The possibility of having to learn another language is very real. I
see radio being used to cover large areas which are not profitable to
wire for cable and phone. Many parts of South America, The Middle East
and Asia come to mind. There are many more sub locales, I'm sure.

The use of the major European languages will continue to decline,
Spanish excluded.
