It is not just third world countries that are affected either. When I was working in Europe (especially Italy) I often had to connect with a laptop/cellphone combination, frequently at 2,400bps due to International connectivity issues, at International roaming rates ($1.60/min). So let's see: at 2,400bps, a 1k PGP key takes over 4 seconds to download, which at $1.60/min is 11 cents. I generally receive over 100 e-mails a day - if everyone did what you are doing then my cellphone bill would have been boosted by $11/day, just for PGP keys. Imagine for a moment that YOU had to foot the bill out of your own pocket, as I had to... Regards, Ozz.
