Why can't Canada , Australia and the UK catch up with the US in the dominance of internet start ups

I asked the above question some couple of weeks ago on a global scale to get the views of why US companies are in complete dominance of all internet related busineses worthy of mention. The question was to match the US against every other country on the planet. I recieved many reasons while this is the case . a summary of the reasons were , innovation,freemarket, US invented the internet, US controls ICAAN, US have internet backbone,greed , money,financial market, english skill etc. I guess this might be true when you compare the US to Nigeria, Vietnam , Congo, Bolivia. The diffrence in democracy , technolgy, culture and education makes all the point . but what i can't figure out is why Canada, UK and Australia can't make it despict having similar scenario like the US What is the missing link, why aren't there google,yahoo msn in this countries? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070330184713AACLvS

1. In australia they are far too busy tossing shrimp on the barby and chasing Sheilas, Canadians spend all there time tuning up their Zamboni's, polishing their curling stones, and drinking Molson's, and the British have problems concentrating due to their high intake of Haggis, Bangers, and Marmite.
