Good Morning.
My friend Klaus told me to publish this comment (in double) also here inside the new Blog, ... o.k., here it is.

dear friend, I gave this comment "thumbs up", but I want to give 100 times thumbs up. For me is ALL INDIA RADIO so important due to the fact that they are the only real democracy in Asia with a large shortwave service. Others like Thailand etc. are ruled by a dictatorship or let us say "non democratic" government in comparison to a free legal parlamentaric system like we have in european states. So India is in these way of thinking very urgent, and they have to have a Foreign Broadcasting Service. This trend to setup only Webradio, is in my eyes dangerous and wrong. Dangerous: the web is not secure against outlosses/non-function, what is then ? Wrong way: more people in Asia and Africa are without (!) web access than people which have web access. So the broad masses in Asia refer there information still and only from Radio and TV,. Yes, they walk to an internet cafe and look into, but 90% of the day they have a radio switched on. And India have to recognize that they play an urgent role for the small neighbour countries, Bangladesh, Bhutan etc. - I listened to Bhutan's BBS last week 3 hours (in total on different days) and truthfully I must say that the so called "news" are too short and reports are mostly about the country itself and his majesty the king or the happiness of the Bhutan people. BUT if you as an european citizen search News from the whole Asia, this BBS - and others - are really the wrong place. So all in all: the A.I.R. -Service is very very urgent for them and us.
