There's lots of similar places. Saskatchewan, for example, once
|
|
shared with Iceland the distinction of most telephone connections per
|
|
capita, and for a long time shared the internet penetration lead with
|
|
Iceland (Sask is a land-locked massive expanse of ultra-flat dust with
|
|
only two rivers and farm sizes measured in the
|
|
hundred-thousand-hectares).
|
|
|
|
It's still curious Iceland leads. Maybe there's just a deep cultural
|
|
curiousity and fascination with watching advertising from the rest of
|
|
the world. Maybe they're downloading Bjork videos.
