” Much of Europe, Japan and South Korea are the opposite “
Japan is “ high tech “ , until you leave the big cities ; then it’s back to 1960’s era-America . My internet cable connection is so slow between 8-10 at night I give up . The town is too “ kechi “ ( cheap ) to upgrade . There is no competition ( NTT won’t come in because most folks already have cable and won’t switch over because they know it’ll cost as little more ) , so we are screwed .
‘NTT won’t come in because most folks already have cable and won’t switch over because they know it’ll cost as little more’
That sums it all up. Replace NTT with AT&T and you have the same resoning. Telecommunications are a big money business with profits made from having a large sub base. If you have to little of a sub base then you lose money by the truckloads.
