2 edits | MItIgating circumstances Our telecommunciatoins model is a bit different than ROW. I think most utilities in foreign countries are run by the public sector and receive huge subsidies. In the US, the private sector has to make money at it. I suspect American companies haven't been able to make the business case to justify the fiber investment in the last few miles off the trunk lines. i think its really an consumer need and adoption issue as opposed to an availability issue as some critics argue.
There are some interesting charts at »www.websiteoptimization.com/bw/0609/. It basically says the the US leads broadband market penetration at ~75% while the best usage rate in a European Union country lags at ~30%. |

Cheyenne, WY | Of course..... We all know this is President Bush, Carl Rove's, and Dick Cheney's fault. They want to listen into everything that goes on on the internet and It is well known they are holding out to let Helliburtion control Broadband in the United States.
Thankful we have Speaker Nancy Implosive riding her broom to the rescue. With a wave of her magic wand and the incantation "Bitch-ah-loma" and everything will be ok.
