That is personal anual income and not family income I suppose. Remember that India has around 30% of people far too young to use cellphones. A family might have one phone and will happily spend $28 per year for the $30GB data per quarter. A

Are you saying the company should prioritize reducing CEO salary by finding a "potential" cheap guy over someone who is already doing a good job ? Din't Ben and Jerry tried something like this and nearly killed their company
