Kabul Ringtones

BusinessWeek has an article detailing a day in the life of Eaton Dunkelberger, who operates a ringtone business in Afghanistan. It’s behind a subscription wall so I only get up to 9am, when he’s talking to the guy who makes the ringtones…“Meeting with Naseem. This young Afghan makes our ringtones and owns the only music production studio in Kabul. Naseem’s office is on Butcher Street, the stairs to his office nestled between huge cow carcasses buzzing with flies. We sit on the floor, drink soda, and listen to the new tracks he’s recording…I offered Naseem a lucrative revenue sharing agreement in exchange for ringtone production, but as with many Afghans, a bird in the hand is worth three or four in the bush.”
