WANT A GOOD REASON to move to Hong Kong? How does 1GBps home Internet access for $215 a month sound? Too spendy for you? Then how about 100MBps for $34, or 10MBps for $16?

I would also like to thank the US government for putting us behind Uganda and the tribal regions of Pakistan in our forward looking broadband policy.

SIGH. Read more about it here
