Really? In some places in Europe, people were starting to get excited about dial-up BBSes in the mid nineties, a decade after they were on their way out in North America.

In 1994 I was doing contract work in Vancouver on a website with paying subscribers.

What is your point exactly? Half of europe was still transitioning to a market economy or in a (civil) war/conflict in the 90's.

I am also sure, that a lot of places in the US didn't have internet access in the 90's.
