Yes, there are other factors as well. But for GDP/capita's "in the same ballpark", population density is probably the biggest factor for networking costs. ---------------------------- country GDP/head pop/km^2 ============================ India $450 307 S Korea $9670 472 USA $34940 30 ---------------------------- South Korea has almost 16 times the population density of America, but the GDP per capita is what I would consider "in the same ballpark" (much less than a factor of 10 difference), although it is significantly lower than America's. Comparing India to South Korea, the population density is a bit higher in South Korea, but the GDP per capita is more than 21 times higher in South Korea! -- Erik Reuter http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
