(I upvoted you, I think your downvotes for this comment are unfair.)

I tend to agree. HN seems to be uninterested in those stories. Submitting them on different days or at different times doesn't make much difference.

The Screen Huts was, I thought, pretty interesting and touches on things that do get discussed on HN like Facebooks weird Internet offering or the Google blimps.

I know it's only a slideshow, but still, it gives some powerful stories that explain the severe need for good, cheap, communications in developing nations.

Perhaps people, not just HN, just aren't interested in those topics. Show me one forum where those topics are popular.
