Since Netflix is maxing out on paying subscribers world wide, looks like less than 250 million have a few bucks to spare.
So currently it feels like connecting everyone (atleast on the Western Internet model) is only possible through -
1. Allowing data rape, breaches and leaks.
2. Advertising (ie Corporate marketing depts causing population scale brain damage)
3. Bundling of "free" services to enable Empire Defense Monopoly formation games of Google/Comcast/AT&T et al.
4. Elon gets govts of the world to pay him rent and becomes the next AT&T
On some days China sounds better than this ever growing sewer network.
