RE: [Indic-computing-users] Market Size

[K S R A. <an...@in...>]

I think someone needs to worry about the market and it would be
simplistic to say that it does not matter. However, there is
a chicken and egg problem. We need to create applications and
get a feel of how useful they are to really determine the market
size.

For instance in China about 80% plus of the IT market is domestic
and in India it is 20% or less. From the groups perspective we need to
keep in mind end user needs in terms of applications
that are created to be successful both in terms of deployment
and business success (if one is worried about that).

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!
