I've ranted before about it, but nothing's changed.

How can America claim to be in the first world, when they don't even have internet at their biggest airports? JFK? Nope. Charlotte? Nah. Atlanta? Definitely not.

I get off the plane in Gatwick and it's like I'm back in civilisation. Next to payphones are internet booths. Further along, an internet cafe.

The easy everything on 42nd st. in NYC is quite simply the worst internet cafe in the world. I've had to readjust to liking Easy everything now I'm back in Bonnie Britain.

So... why is this? Why this propensity to ignoring the current state of world communications?
