Astronomical? EUR2000? Do you smoke? Do you drink? Do you have a car? How much does that cost you?
RB> Only people who place enormous value on fast-fast-fast RB> communications (and those are not really that common in Germany) might RB> be interested in such things.
Or people with children with grandchildren that visits you from now and then, and who likes to watch e.g. children's TV on demand without the annoying pausing caused by a cheap and slow internet connection.
Welcome to the future...

Sweden got away with it, and it didn't even cost us billions, just less than a milliard of Euros spent over two decades.

So you still think that a healthy internet connection is only for the rich people? Here in Sweden we regard it as a democratic necessity to be able to communicate with the rest of the world without relying on old time media. Do you know what made the Arab Spring possible?

So it seems. Or they are not so cheap that they prefer to hang on to 20th century technology. May I ask if you own a smart phone? If so, what did/does it cost you?
