Cheap in terms of dollars.
But add in the totalitarianism, censorship, 60m+ dead in the last 50 years, and I don't think you'll find the price to be particularly cheap.
I'll take my slower but steadier progress.
- dpau 7y agoYou're conflating issues. The question was whether or not government investment in internet infrastructure was possible or sustainable. China proves that it is, even over a huge country with a huge rural population. And they did it within the past decade! The US could do the same, presumably without killing millions of people. And I do mean cheap in terms of local standard of living. 1 year of high speed broadband fiber costs less than $100USD.
