This week, we stay online (mostly). The US Treasury Department gives the go-ahead to some new communications exports. Also, South Koreans fight cyber-bullying. Then, the BBC asks a couple of South Korean families to disconnect from the 'net, and connects a couple of farmers in Nigeria. Interesting things ensue. And we end with a lovely little piece about Indians turning to the web to find love.
