Re: international data caps?
I'm guessing that population density -- or lack thereof -- is a factor in Finland's capless data plans. Kind of like why there aren't any traffic jams in Wyoming.

Re: Coincidenza?
Well, then I guess for the sake of free democracy-- people should demand slower internet speeds and less connectivity!? :P

Bad news travels quickly. Fake news travels at the speed of light. It's just something we have to deal with now.

OECD And Colombia
It will be interesting to see the statistics on Colombia once it is fully acceded into the OECD. That country appears to be growing by leaps and bounds.

Re: Coincidenza?
Information of all kinds travels fast now. Does fake news travel faster than real news? Maybe a more discerning audience would stop fake news in its tracks.....

Re: Coincidenza?
It's all about amplification and the willingness to embrace the "facts" that fit our respective world views. One person's "discerning audience" is another person's "out of touch elites." And so it goes.

Because distributions matter
I'm going to raise a fussy point from Adi's excellent article:

In fact, 12 member states (Japan, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, the US, Estonia, Australia, South Korea, Norway, Iceland, New Zealand and Switzerland) now have more than 100% penetration of mobile broadband (i.e., some citizens have more than one mobile phone with a corresponding data package).


That's true but the thing that it means that is apt to be more important is that the number of people with 2 or more mobile phone+package combinations is greater than the number with zero.  The ones with zero are still there -- but they're now in the smallest part of the distribution that goes

None --- One --- Lots.

The have-nots have not even numerical clout anymore.

Re: Coincidenza?
Some "facts" are more disprovable than others. But as long as people feel things aren't right, there will be fake facts to support gut feelings.
