The Internet And Cable TV Come To Bhutan
from the modern-society-vs.-paradise? dept
A long, and somewhat disorganized, article in Red Herring about the modernizing of Bhutan, the small country that once declared "gross national happiness" was more important than "gross national product". It's interesting to see how the society deals with the "threats" and "opportunities" of things like the internet and cable TV. Anyway, I know that people from the Red Herring read this site, and if they see this, I hope they can tell someone there that a "print this page" or "single page" view would be a very nice feature. Clicking through a 7 page article is a bit annoying.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Red Herring story
Thanks for your suggestions, though.

Re: Red Herring story
Personally, I prefer to read an entire article in a single screen. However, I could see why some others wouldn't mind having it broken up. 7 pages, though, seemed like an awful lot (especially with no indication of how much longer the article would go on for). Some other sites also include an indicator saying how many pages the total article is.
