It is amazing to see that current HN's audience is unable to notice that consumers are switching from PC+ADSL scheme to laptop+HSDPA USB stick or some Android/Apple device and that global GSM carriers were already won the market with cheap data-only plans.
But it is OK that typical US citizen hardly knew that other countries exists. ^_^
btw, I'm currently in Sweden, where HSDPA coverage even in rural areas is a defacto standard. Same trends going on everywhere in the world (Asia and Europe), except, of course, US. ^_^
