Most software development simply does not happen in those places for that reason. Basically, it's a supply and demand thing. Software developers require decent connectivity and they'll move to where the connectivity is. Or they'll fix a decent connection (using star link or whatever).


I promise you, software development also happens in unbelievable places like South America, Africa and other low connectivity places.
