Tom doesn't know a thing about cell phone infrastructure and doesn't take into account the geography or size of each nation. It costs billions to build a wireless system, not to mention FCC regulations that must be taken into account

Reminds me of the old software engineering joke:

Q: How was the Lord able to create the world in only six days?

A: He didn't have an installed base.

Paradoxically, not having good infrastructure can be blessing, because you can leapfrog a generation of technology. If you have good existing infrastructure, you can't just up and declare it obsolete.
