In the year 2005 in Bangladesh, the region having the highest average household income was Dhaka the capital, 7592 taka/month, or at todays exchange rate around $110/month, in USD.
Rough figures below: Population: 150,500,000 Literacy rate: 43% Number of Radios Per 1000 People: 50 (1997 Estimate) Number of Telephones Per 1000 People: 4 (2001 Estimate) No. of TVs per 1000 People 7.4 (2000 estimate) No. of Internet hosts per 10,000 people 0 (2000 Estimate) Newspaper circulation per 1000 people 9 (1996 Estimate) No. of motor vehicles per 1,000 people 1 (1998 Estimate) Yes, I can imagine the average Bangladeshi thinking, "If I just had a big screen HDTV home theatre and a big comfy chair, I'd have it made".
