Wow! That is amazing. Unfortunately, there are lots of people around here who 
are far from the nearest railway line and have no electricity. The most 
likely possibility for them is if the GPRS network coverage is extended, at 
least for the foreseeable future. 

I, on the other hand, live right next to a railway line! :-)
