    That remains to be seen. As it stands, these regions don't have the ability to pay for the service (no matter the price - they simply don't have access to bank accounts and credit cards). This is something to keep in mind and not obvious to people living in 1st world countries.

      They can pay with crypto. Obviously there are some hurdles too and they have to earn it first.

  > you wont be watching 4k Netflix says you need 25 Mbps for "Ultra HD Quality"[1], so yes, you could watch a different 4K stream in every house simultaneously. And have 25 Mbps left over for other traffic. Edit to add: Netflix is right. If you can't get reliable 4K with a 25 Mbps connection, the most likely reasons are: - First by a wide margin, is that you are using Wi-Fi to connect your display device. Don't do that. Use ethernet (at least until you have 802.11ax everywhere). - Second, you have a flaky connection to your ISP. Misconfigured, marginal (e.g. DSL more than 2.5 kilometres from the cabinet) or in poor electrical condition. - Third, you have neighbours regularly operating very large electric motors or electric arc welders. - Fourth, your ISP doesn't know what it's doing, or is deliberately monkeying with your service to try to upsell you. 1. https://help.netflix.com/en/node/306 https://help.netflix.com/en/node/306
