I was using Korea as an extreme example, but even the Citylink model shows the way. I know Citylink customers who shunt huge files across Wellington every day, and either laugh or cry at those who don't have Citylink connections who have to pay telcos large dollops of dosh each month for the quantities of data they push around.
I know of several people in my area who don't shunt huge files across networks, even though they would like to do so as their work requires it. It's too expensive and anyway, there is no practical alternative that's fast enough (around 10Mbps). So, they send CDs and DVDs on couriers. That's actually the Real NZ Broadband Connection Alternative. (Wellingtonians: no, the rest of the country does not have all the options you have...) -- Juha
