What is the hypothesis concerning the relationship between scarcity and bandwidth?

The hypothesis concerning the relationship between scarcity and bandwidth is that there is a direct correlation between the two, in that as access to resources becomes increasingly scarce, the amount of bandwidth available for those resources decreases. As access to resources dwindles, the cost of those resources increases, leaving less room for broadband access. Inversely, as access to resources increases, the cost decreases and more bandwidth is made available. This relationship is often reversed in regions with access to abundant resources, as the cost decreases and more bandwidth is made available.
