I went to Myanmar at the beginning of 2015 for a few weeks, and was blown away at how many people had cell phones. It was only a few years before that phones were unobtainable due to extremely high sim card prices (only one provider). Once they allowed in competition (2 other networks), the price flew down to sub $1 per sim card, and in a flash everyone was online. What really stood out was how much of the country ran on facebook. Groups for everything, pages for businesses, messenger for communication, etc. It resembled being in china and having everything run through wechat. I guess this is one of those consequences.
