Internet in Kazakhstan - funny
This is really funny and amusing. It seems that phone companies in Kazakhstan are charging in excess of 3000 USD per month for internet access. I saw this article on Arstechnica and here is a small excerpt:
An unlimited dial-up plan costs about €82 ($111) in a country where the average monthly wage is €292 ($399). As for DSL, an unlimited 1.5Mbps connection costs €2,458 ($3,355) a month, and doesn’t even included the required ADSL modem. Want a 6Mbps cable connection? It’ll cost you, to the tune of €16,144 ($22,032) a month.
