> Mobile internet coverage is awesome.

It is actually much better in remote-ish area compared to heart of Kathmandu.

> Internet, electricity, and infrastructure is all improving and the costs are still super cheap.

The internet situation has improved drastically over the years. In just 3 years I went from crappy 128kbps to 256kbps, 512kbps, 1mbps, 2mbps, 5mbps and 10mbps fiber connection at basically the same monthly fee (less than $20/mo and it includes TV).

Things are definitely improving but Kathmandu is still unlivable due to dust. Monsoon can't come soon enough so we can trade it for knee deep mud. :-P
