Nobody is interested in building some expensive infrastructure project when there is still little demand. Seserak, since you've come up with the case of Japan, it might be a good idea to look into a few other developing nations, where people still have to catch up with the rest of the world. So we'll be able to tell the differences of the progress.

How does this compare to our neighboring countries, like Thailand or Vietnam? Any idea? As for internet in Japan, it is surprisingly cheap. I pay only $25 a month for the plan I'm currently using. It's a fiber-optic service with unlimited download. Also, the first two-month is free of charge. Whenever I think about this, I keep asking myself when Cambodia will have such a low-priced internet service, and which is affordable for most households in the country.
