Global Perspective
I've been looking into Internet access in other parts of the world.
In the country of Togo, West Africa, here's what I found one ISP offering:
For a 64/128 Kbit/s connection (at current exchange rate):
Cost of installation and activation: $344.43
Monthly costs: $79.55
This is in a country whose per capita income is $900.

Now that's crazy...
