cia using india as a petrie dish? wth!
A friend of mine just returned from a very rural part of India. She commented how filthy it was there, about her food poisoning, how India's version of a 4 star hotel would probably be condemned over here, etc. Eating with hands instead of using a spoon, no toilet paper & didn't use soap when cleaning dishes, etc.
But, she commented that the broadband access even in some remote part of India was better than the broadband access she has in her local city.
hahaha, what the hell. how fast is indian broadband.
mmmmm, sausageHm, mostly E. coli and Klebsiella. Could be worse I guess.

What I find comical is why nobody understands why this makes perfect sense:
High-density countries allow for highly-economical (and affordable) expansion for the communications industry. In the states, we can only see it to a degree, at the local level; high-density metropolitan regions will often have the fastest internet speeds, density over a large region means some companies can afford to expand the footprint of newer technology.
But this cannot be supported when the high-density regions are so far apart and relatively small in comparison to the larger geographical footprint of less-populated regions.
The U.S. and Canadian communications industry is forever going to lag that of the industries across Europe, Japan, China and India.
It sucks too - we have no hope to ever be at the same level as those nations. When we get to where they are now, they will just be moving to the next revolution in communications.
1. Rural India is usually very clean - most Indian villages don't tolerate filth. Strange ...
6. No soap while cleaning the dishes - I've seen villagers use ash and coconut fiber to clean vessels. Not sure what the logic behind that is ...

2. Food poisoning - pretty common, sadly. I was lucky enough to have only gotten jaundice and not the really fun cholera.
4. Eating with your hands - do you not WASH your hands before you eat? I know where my hands have been - do you know where that spoon has been?
5. No toilet paper - given Indian spices, it's a fire hazard in the restroom
