Actually these days Mexico is a fairly well developed country with decent internet penetration.
- kingkawn 16y agoYeah I was about to say, Mexico is not 3rd world by any metric.
- pyre 16y agoYea, but are those in power still looking for handouts if you want to stay out of trouble?
- bpodgursky 16y agoAs long as you ignore the "thousands of people killed each year by drug cartels which the police and military are unable to control" metric
- kingkawn 16y agoMexico is the 14th largest economy in the world. Drug cartels are not the only thing happening there.
- armandososa 16y agoWhat? I don't know what the metrics are to define what world a country belongs to. But unless our corrupt politicians pay somebody I think we well deserve to be in 4th or 5th world :P
- petercooper 16y agoBut drivingmenuts said "Since the Internet is not as widespread in Mexico [...]" Even Mexico's own numbers (by AMIPCI) show Internet usage at 27.2% of the population vs the US's 77%. This is even lower than the ITU's estimate of 43.5% penetration for Albania. Stats: http://www.internetworldstats.com/ http://www.internetworldstats.com/
- crpatino 16y agoMexico's population is over 100 million people. That is what gives it a seat among the big world economies in spite of having low per capita economic stats. How many Albanias do feet inside Mexico City alone?
