Infrastructure is completely overrated for innovation. We have global leaders in tiny villages on the Schwäbische Alb, who deliver parts to anywhere in the World without having an Autobahn anywhere near them. If you have ever been to the Silicon Valley you might have noticed that internet and wireless is a mess. At least when I lived there it was really bad. Same with any cab service by the way, which are way more efficient in Germany.
Improving infrastructure might increase your personal efficiency. It won't help innovation in any way.
PS: A great example how infrastructure is irrelevant can be seen in this Ted Talk. It compares India and China after WWII.

- LargoLasskhyfv 5y agoTED talks are overrated for information/education. I wasted 18 minutes, and it has given me nothing. One could maybe discusss differences in protocol implementations, regarding error correction, latency, overhead on networks of a given topology. This was nothing like that.
