Lazy summer afternoon

We were too lazy to write about the lazy summer afternoons, and by now they are over, gone for the year.

The To Do list for fall has been getting longer instead of shorter, and the team felt inadequate until, that is, we found this article in  Der Spiegel (in German) about the state of Germany's internet infrastructure. Under the heading 'narrow band Germany', the article has lots of comparison charts, and Germany does not look good on them. They illustrate our experience when we first set out to get onto the net in this country.

Strangely, the K-Landnews is among the 8.8% of German costumers who enjoy an internet connection faster than 10 Mbit/s. 

TheEditor said: "Well, we are an important publication, are we not?", then smiled and continued "how sad is that". 

Further study of the charts brought the explanation for the sorry state of the net around here: laziness, the laziness of Deutsche Telekom. The giant former monopoly owner of all German telecommunications infrastructure is investing less into the infrastructure than the much smaller competitors.

We are well aware that one man's "laziness" is another man's "reward for all the effort made over years and decades".

Pick one.

We are too lazy to delve into details.
