not to disagree with your point, but it's a supply/demand issue. In Bangladesh, I'm sure the pipes they don't have enough of (though times are changing) deliver water. In the US, the pipes we have issue with are the ones that deliver data. Market's will eventually resolve the supply/demand imbalance but things take time to build. The expectation for things to happen instantly is partially a product of the instant-information age we've been living in for the last 10-12 years. These days so much of the demand side is expected to be instant that we forget the production side isn't. I'd also be curious to see bandwidth production/consumption data broken down by country.
