I wonder if, like you said, infrastructure will improve or competition might improve the broadband services. Or, if like in many parts of Asia, they’ll just bypass that stage of the information age and head straight to data plans on smartphones that are controlled by satellites or easy to build cell towers rather than cable laid underground. I agree that lack of access to that information is certainly bad for democracy and good for government corruption.
