Grew up in India, got a B.Tech from IIT Madras(B.Tech), MBA from IIM(MIS)Bangalore and decided to head to the US for my PhD. Unfortunately, before I started my dissertation I got a fantastic teaching job in a Southern California University and my PhD never materialized. They did give me an MS in Information Systems though. Been teaching full and part-time for the last 21 years - both graduate, undergraduate and adults re-entering education. Am very passionate about teaching. In the last 6 years in the US also headed the MIS Department of a medium-sized consulting firm. Returned to India last year to start my own business working for my ex-company Live with my two dogs, work from home, no children, no spouse, no interruptions. Intend to take up writing of academic and non-academic books as a hobby. Music - Rock&Roll, Blues, Jazz, some Reggae Travelling abroad Camping, Hiking Driving long long distances up the coastline(cant do this in India-traffic too thick for me) Reading - Science Fiction, Thrillers and Non-Fiction Crossword Puzzle Solving Animal Rights Activist

Your comments that DSL speeds for Dishnet are 200 times faster than phone lines for the setup costs you have described are simply not true.
