Q.5 If you live in Hong Kong, there is a new way that you can keep tabs on your
children and their Nanny while you?re out of the house. New World Mobility, a
cellular telephone provider in that city, has a new service for working parents.
Home Care Mobile Viewing Service allows the subscriber to view real-time
video through a cell phone. A high-speed Internet connection links a home
computer?s Webcam to a cell phone that is capable of showing video clips of
footage of the home?s interior space. Over 75% of Hong Kong?s population
have cell phones, and about 30% of all households have broadband
connections.
The Service is being targeted to working women living in Hong Kong, many of
whom have domestic helpers to take care of their children during working
hours (most middle-class families in Hong Kong are two-income families).
Although the service intends to provide parents with peace of mind, it could
work equally well for pet owners.

Q.1) Could this service be equally successful in Mumbai, New York or
Sydney? Justify your answer.

Q.2) Would it be more difficult for different cultures to accept a new food
product or New Mobility?s Home Care Mobile Viewing Service? Why?
