Dude, maybe if you were bidding on spectrum in Nigeria or India
“many Googlers have been working to identify the obstacles that prevent the Internet from being available to everyone on the planet. It strikes us as unfair that some people should enjoy such abundant access to this rich resource while billions of others aren’t so lucky.”
“For instance, we wrote […] about Google’s interest […] in the broadband market here in the U.S., to help ensure that as many Americans as possible can access the Internet.”
Maybe - just maybe - there is room to apply the pareto principle in tackling the billions of those who don’t have access rather than to the minuscule numbers of Americans who dont have Internet access?
Wha? According to several studies, the US adoption for broadband internet is 53%. Among those homes in the US with internet access, 28% is dial-up.
I don’t know if I’d call tens (possibly upwards of hundreds) of millions of people minuscule.
