Users support, yes.

I read Mr Springer's message and we do not want to have a biased survey
at all. One of the reasons we came up with a survey is that  we were
precisely not able to get the big picture by reading mailing lists.
It's important to note that there is no good or bad answer in this
survey, it's about understanding opportunities we could create for
users. 

Last but not least the geography might count, yes. You do not see your
contribution potential whether you're in a country that has ubiquitous
broadband or in a country where most people connect to the internet via
phones or for the wealthiest, satellite.

Best,
