    Hi Andy,

    We'll definitely take your comments into consideration. Also, we'll definitely try to bring you some worldwide information when it comes to data. We are both in the US, so we certainly focus a lot on the states. Thanks for listening, and for writing in!

    Hi,
    This is Andy from Australia.
    I listen to your podcast every week and I love it.
    Some comments:
    1)Regarding your giveaways....
    I totally understand how sending the prizes overseas can cost a lot. For low value prizes (say up to 35 USD) overseas listeners may not be interested in paying for freight.
    But for prizes more substantial (such as Bluetooth headsets, backup batteries,etc.) you may contact overseas winners and ask them if interested to cover the postage cost.
    I for one I would be interested for sure (if I win)
    2)A government controlled television frequency or TV Satelites would be the worst option ever.
    Imagine what will hapen if a television will disturb (in any way) the Government plans...They will shut down the service immediately and will start censoring what you see on television.
    We wouldn't want to see this happening....
    3)I noticed from time to time you provide us with market share information for various Mobile platforms.
    While I believe your figures refer to USA only, it would be great to mention exactly where data was collected i.e. USA , Europe, Asia, or Worldwide.
    This will help us to get a clearer idea.

    Regards.
    Andy
