<div>Not so fast there ....</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Estonia has 1.3 million people spread over 45,000 km2 of space</div>
<div>Just our 3 eastern state capitals have 10.4 million people in 28,309 km2 of space.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hell, even the Gold Coast has more than 1,000 people per km2 of area. Density isn't the issue. Nobody ever talked about building a PON in unpopulated areas.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As for funding it :</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>Estonia GDP per capita : USD$18,783</div>
<div>Australia GDP per capita : USD$67,458</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
<div>However you want to cut it, they just made a better decision. Perhaps they didn't politicise one of their nation's key infrastructure projects like we did.</div>
