Last time I checked they were somewhat smaller and much more densly 
populated countries.

And they don't have the interesting issues of extensive urban sprawl 
where lots of folks decided they didn't want to have neighbors so they 
moved "out to the country" building homes on widely spaced lots. I 
really have no interest in paying for their lifestyle. If broadband 
costs an extra $50/month because of the costs to service such properties 
they need to pay for it.
