you are not going anywhere

I always knew that the Chinese always did it big in the technology field. This fact cannot be stretched enough as my fellow Chinese students at university dwarfed our second year electronic projects with walking robots and self manoeuvring vehicles as we were busy displaying stupid messages on 16×2 LCD screen –kids stuff, innit? Anyway thats besides the point.

How about this for triumph, just two Chinese ISPs serve 20% of world broadband users, yes thats right. The Telegeography updated its list of the worlds ISPs database and clearly shows how the Chinese have dwarfed about any other telecom company. China telecom is the largest ISP in the world, it has 55million subscribers. That’s right, it could serve the whole of Africa’s internet needs with surplus! It could connect every house hold in the UK and their systems would just be on less than 50% performance. The other big dog is China Unicom, with just 40 million.

The scary bit is that both of these companies are still growing, can they possible get any bigger? If so, China should contemplate pulling an AT&T on these giants(if you don’t know what i mean, google is your friend).
