I just found this image in my computer. I don’t remember where I got this image. One thing for sure is that the image depicts the internet speeds and costs around the world. I am not sure in which year the graphic was created. It was probably around 2008-2009. The graphic contains top 20 Nations in ITIF Broadband Rankings.
What I can understand from the image is that Japan has been penetrated with 61mbps internet connection and the cost is only $0.27/month. YES, IT’S TRUE. WOWWWW!!!!. Well, sorry for my hysterical response. I couldn’t help it. Indonesia is not even in the top 20, not to mention the internet cost.
I thought The Netherlands would be in the top 5 countries for Internet speed and costs (I lived in The Netherlands for 3 years), but I was wrong. The Top 5 countries were Japan, Korea, Finland, Sweden, and France (61mbps, 46mbps, 22mbps, 18.2mbps, and 17.6mbps, respectively). Netherlands was in sixth position. How about USA? Uncle Sam was behind Iceland and Germany (4.8mbps). In the 20th position was Greece.
I almost forgot to mention that about 60% of Japanese (approximately 76 million people out of 125 million people, data 2009) has access to this broadband internet connection. In USA, only about 8%-10% of American (approximately 27 million people out of 308 million people, estimated data 2010) has the access to the broadband internet connection.
I hope the cheap and fast broadband internet connection will penetrate Indonesia in near future.
