To be pedantic, that is true unless there is an isolated cluster of humans and the most likely case that would happen is if there is an undiscovered (by someone in the spanning cluster) and isolated civilization somewhere. Also, the six degrees of separation is the average path length and not the diameter of the network. Nevertheless, six degrees of separation is an excellent argument against suspecting people solely due to association with "terrorists."

No problem with the coverage here in the Philippines. Up to just recently, my research is on remote control of scientific and biomedical devices over IP networks including GSM, 2.5G and 3G networks. We were able to do telemicroscopy using a phone. We're now in the second year of a grant to design and deploy telehealth devices to underserved areas. If everything works as expected, it would surely help a lot of people and personally give me a lot of satisfaction.
