Your comment kind of make me sad... this is such a big issue of perspective. It's something that I often see coming from the US, but any first world country often has that issue, we forget that there's more than us in the world.
> In 2019, Internet access became available to 51 percent of the world's population. When households are taken into account, the index increases, reaching 57.8 percent.
42% of the world don't have internet. We aren't talking about not having competitive internet, literally, no internet at all.
At the bare minimum, you forgot about 42% of the world... that kind of sad.
