FORMER US Presidents George Bush and Bill Clinton called on the wireless industry to come up with new ways to save the world.

Both former presidents, who are mates, said that since more than half the world lives on wages that are below two dollars a day, wireless communications were the way forward.

President Bush said that wireless communications made the world a safer place than when he was president.

Clinton said that the world was more interdependent and communications at all levels was critical.

He said that wireless technology was helping economies in a variety of unexpected ways. People in Haiti were peddling SIM cards rather than bumping each other off. Rwandan health projects, which he was involved with, could not function without mobiles and solar power.

Bush apparently loves his BlackBerry and says he can only be away from it for an hour.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
