That's because 3rd world countries start from scratch. Developed countries have 50-year-old infrastructure to consider. Can't dig 50 centimetres into the ground

That's because 3rd world countries start from scratch. Developed countries have 50-year-old infrastructure to consider.
Can't dig 50 centimetres into the ground without hitting something important.
- baybal2 5y agoWell, developed countries to the large extend already have fibre in every major city, it's just getting to it is near impossible for mortals, take a look on the post above how the guy in Toronto kept begging big ISPs to lease him fibre.
- throw0101a 5y agoDeveloped countries have fibre between every major city, and through every major city, but they have only been pushing fibre out in the 'first/last-mile' in the last few years: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_to_the_x https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_to_the_x For the last few decades it has been copper, either twisted-pair or co-axial, to just about everywhere.
- baybal2 5y agoWe are not talking about the last mile, since it's the easiest part in comparison to the developing world, and with regards to getting the right of way. It's the intra-city fibre backbone which is either non-existent in the developing world, or extremely hard to get connection rights to in the developed countries.
