We need not worry about the market size at all.  We should worry about
ethics.  It is good and necessary to have indic-computing solutions
and therefore we should go ahead.  Imagine, if the so called survey
gave us a negative feedback, are we going to stop working? No, we will
continue, by finding alternate justification.  We will create demand
and begin to supply.  We can as agents change the market too!
