In estimating the proportion of home users who use dial-up, the
proportion in the USA becomes less and less relevant as the proportion
of world-wide home Internet users who happen to be in the USA dwindles.

Or do you assert that the USA is necessarily typical?

I think Americans assume most folks in other countries, esp in less
developed countries, are on dial-up.. I'm from Chile, everybody there
is on broadband, dial-up doesn't even exist anymore there..

In my experience, many Americans assume that people in other countries
are in America :-(

Many Chileans are not very aware of their own reality, or better
said, the reality of others around them.
Can you tell me what sort of competition was there between different
companies that provided dial-up conection? How many different phone
companies that compited fairly with each other? Any comments regarding
the business practices of Terra?

What is the name of the island off Puerto Montt's coast where a
school with no electricity, and with just one telephone for the whole
island, received a donation of computers? How many fishes have they
sold on the internet?
