It would appear that my knowledge on relative bandwidth costs is either very out of date (or was just plain wrong to start with)...
On internationalisation: fair point on those that don't get the effort, though some effort being made is better than none.
Also, regarding i18n for Europe: most of the time, it is localized only for FIGS (France, Italy, Germany, Spain). Other 20 or so (for EU, not Europe) countries get shown a finger. So why should they pay for that?
