You're counting Egypt but not everybody else in Africa?
- bilbo0s 3y agoMaybe the poster believes the other Africans don't use internet?
- ethbr1 3y agoMaybe poster was trying to see the feasibility of the post he was replying to. >> any country on the Eurasian landmass doesn't need submarine cables at all to have direct fiber... There's a big difference between Nigeria and Egypt, via terrestrial links, to east/south Asia.
- Two4 3y agoOf course we don't - this comment is being relayed via ham radio from South Africa to the Antarctic, where thankfully the German research team has a satellite uplink.
- LeifCarrotson 3y agoAnd none of the ~0.5B in the EU counts as EUrasia?
- ethbr1 3y agoIndia and China are contiguous and contain 2.8b people. I started there. (Indonesia would have helped, but we didn't want subsea cabling... and kind of hard to get there without)
