"If you live in the EU, you probably enjoy low broadband costs. If you live 
in Finland, it's even a legal right. If you live in the US, you probably pay 
a moderate cost. But if you live in the developing world, a UNCTAD report 
paints your picture pretty grim. Ridiculously high bandwidth costs are 
inhibiting developing nations from enjoying productive use of the internet — 
like online banking and market tools."
