Two weeks ago I mentioned, for example, that my friend Ira in Yokohama, Japan pays less than $30 per month for 100-megabit-per-second fiber-to-the-home Internet service.

Eh? Well, yea, the population density in Japan is way higher then here, hence their infrastructure costs are different.

Wouldn’t you agree that about 90% of our population lives in major metropolitan locations?

I bet your friend in Yokahama also paid 10 times the price I paid for my house per square foot. But yeah he's got a fast ethernet connection to his house. Where's the cost savings again?
