- 57% of the population is already connected to mobile internet.
- In Pakistan, Nigeria, and Mexico, the rate of new mobile internet subscriber growth is slowing.
- The remaining populations will be harder, and more expensive, to get online.
If companies want more saturation they can always advocate for government policies that lift people out of poverty.
but that would make a less malleable population that is harder to contain and control

Or – outlaw porn and birth-control and hope the birth rate goes up.
That just makes more poor people who can’t afford things.
