Yes Australia has volume charges. Korea does not, who is leading the pack?
I dunno, I don't care, why should I?
Your assertion was that charging per packet is IMPOSSIBLE!
I said hmm, the entire continent of Australia (I dub thee a continent)
has been doing that for years, how IMPOSSIBLE could it be?
So now what's your argument? Oh right, now you want me to produce
balance sheets, ROI statements, per capita infant mortality per change
in the velocity of literacy rate trends, what???
What happened to "impossible"?
The students of the University of Fiji, which are connected to
AARNET, have to pay for their Internet because it is charged by
volume. The whole university is developing a billing department just
for the Internet usage. I just say bravo!
You want more examples in developing countries where the internet per
packet is hindering development and education?
Well, besides slipping from "impossible" to your possibly interesting
macroeconomic theories of third-world development as a function of
billing expenditures...um, is Australia a developing country? Or is
that why you introduced Korea? Or was it Fiji?
The sand is shifting so fast here I'm having trouble keeping up.
Anyhow, straw man, no one (not I!) ever proposed charging kids in Fiji
(or Korean or Australian) universities anything, unless they also
happen to be running some large commercial email enterprise.
I ain't your capital crime!
