I don't think there's anyone in the world who lives in Antarctica, and those that do wouldn't have internet access I don't think. Could you maybe back this up or remove it from the poll?

Well, shoot. Thanks for clearing that up I guess, but it doesn't negate my point about there being 3 votes for it.

Anyway, it's quite interesting that the same number of people are in Europe as North America.

Yeah, I highly doubt that many people live there,especially that internet is normally just for companies which need external communications.

Useless poll, too much trolling. You can close the topic.

Why close the topic? We can assume that who voted for Antarctica just doesn't want to reveal his position, I think is interesting for the community to share some data like this.

yes, me too. But is going to be 50% random.

The problem with this poll is you post it in the English forum. Lots of Asian guys (like us Chinese) usually just stay in the Chinese forum. Thus those who vote are from English speaking continent, or at least has no difficulty in reading English (like the European guys)

Probably yes but that's why there's a thread bellow the pol. It's for discussion of the results.

Lets hope someone can engineer a solution well fitted with african payment methods.
They have a system with cellphones that stores bank transfer information in the cell until it reaches a connection :)

Africa doesn't have the infrastructure.  Also, many English-speaking expats live in Asia and South America.
