Late starter advantages

Kerala has the maximum penetration of mobile phones. Here is a smart cute public telephone, based on GSM technology. The story of the mobile phones and the kerala fishermen is an old one now. The mobile phones transformed the fishermen community in a big way. Now the fishermen uses the mobile phones to close the deal, when they are in the outer sea itself. This helps them to reduce fuel costs and at the same time to get a better pricing.

Thanks to India for getting to the telecom bandwagon late, which hepled it to straightaway go for the state of the art technology. I call it as "late starter advantage".
