Filipinos in Second Life: pipedream or growth market?

The Inquirer.net has a story about the Cebu-based metaverse development company called Avatrian that is looking to bring Filipino businesses into Second Life. I'm of two minds on this.

Looking at ITU statistics from 2007, the Philippines has 2.37 internet subscribers per 100 inhabitants, only 1.1% on broadband. (In comparison, South Korea has 30 subscribers per 100, all of whom are on broadband.) Given
