- nreece 18y agoI think it's more about the correlation between population density and the issue of "last mile" in the broadband network. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_mile http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_mile
- jwilliams 18y agoI there is also a content-density issue. Japanese and Korean Internet users will access a lot of local content... Places like Germany will access a moderate amount of local content.... Places like Australia will be largely accessing foreign content. So Internet is bound to be more expensive in Australia. The last mile is expensive for density reasons, and most of this traffic needs to be trucked over large inter-continental cables. In high-pop, high-local-content areas the costs are bound to be considerably less. The US is an anomaly - but they are probably in a unique circumstance where they also serve/transport a lot of foreign content.
