I'm not a bi...actually.. yes, it is that hard.<br /><br />I'm not a big fan of the high broadband prices in Oz, but the reason they are so high is that Oz is so much bigger than Japan.<br /><br />It costs tens (if not hundreds) of millions of dollars to lay the cables for it all.<br /><br />Japan is a lot simpler - huge population in a small area. Meaning that per metre of cable you have millions of people paying.<br /><br />But in Oz, you have the opposite - huge area, tiny population.<br /><br />There are over 120m people in Japan.. Australia has just over 20m... ie, the entire population of Austrlalia fits into the Tokyo + Yokohama area...<br /><br />It's you basic economy of scale.Loznoreply@blogger.com
