The same principle holds true for countries with better developed infrastructure as well; "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a truck full of tapes hard drives hurling down the highway" (Andrew S. Tanenbaum)
"And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material." -Ted Stevens
