jeko wroteOK, in Lebanon HDSL costs 200$ and you can have the same thing in Europe for 30$.
But in Europe, you'll then give 50% of your revenues as tax, whereas in Lebanon (for a small business) it's only 5%
So unless you earn less than 400$/month, you can pay the price of an expensive internet connection and still make more money... (and I didn't count the additional 500$ you'll have to pay to rent an apartment in Europe, among other things)
As a freelance, I can make a living with my little business in Lebanon, but it would have been impossible in France.
We've been through this in another thread, and there are a lot of variables to take into account.
