Congrats Ben! Great article.
What really peaked my interest of course was this section of the article.

Of the world?s Internet users, only 20 percent are from North America. So if roughly one-fifth of your possible customers speak English, you need to diversify your communications.

Being in the localization, and translation business myself I preach the fact that, if "your not targeting international communities in their dialect your really leaving money on the table". You being in the billing business know that these two aspects go hand in hand with each other.
You did a GREAT job in this article! and again congrats.
