Sitting in his office in Bhutan's sleepy capital, newspaper editor Tenzing Lamsang muses on the dramatic impact of cell-phone technology on a remote Himalayan kingdom known as the last Shangri-La.
As the last country in the world to get television and one which measures its performance with a Gross National Happiness yardstick, Bhutan might have been expected to be a hold-out against mobile technology.
While monks clad in traditional saffron robes remain a common sight on the streets of Thimphu, they now have to dodge cell-phone users whose eyes are glued to their screens.
Bhutan has a largely rural population of just 750,000, but its two cellular networks have 550,000 subscribers. And the last official figures in 2012 showed more than 120,000 Bhutanese had mobile internet connectivity.
Wedged between China and India, the sparsely populated "Land of the Thunder Dragon" only got its first TV sets in 1999, at a time when fewer than a quarter of households had electricity.
Thanks to a massive investment in hydropower, nearly every household is now hooked up to the electricity grid.
