Frankly, I have no idea what the real reason is. But I can see two
speculative possibilites:
1) They killed Kennedy, and have been getting payoffs ever since.
2) Perhaps, since the Internet is rapidly growing in Asia, and since 1/4 of
the worlds population lives there, they have been given enough address
space to bring much of that population online.
Presumably, a private company doesn't have to report how much taxes is pays
or doesn't pay.
