* GLOBAL, mobile text-messaging software from India: A
   few years ago, when still an engineering student at a local
   college in Bangalore, Rajesh T.S.Reddy developed what
   became the world's first software to send and receive
   mobile text messages globally, free of charge. It does this
   through an icon on the computer screen that instantly
   relays the text message to the receiver on the end-user's
   cellphone or pager. The company, which Reddy started as
   Gray Cell Inc. in 1996, was last year rechristened Unimobile
   and shifted its headquarters to California. (Source: Far

* NET IDEA for afflordable bottled water (from the Philippines):
   Philippine entrepreneur Michael Lim is using an ultraviolet-
   light water-purification system, which he first read about on
   the Internet, as the basis of a successful franchise business
   selling low-cost clean water to Manila residents. So far,
   about 100,000 people a day are buying the water, which is
   tested monthly, certified for safety, and goes for a third of
   the price of regular bottled water.
