Report is meaningless without factor for population densities
This report does not have any valid basis. You can NOT compare places like So. Korea or Quatar with the US. I don't want to repeat myself but this problem with the statistics comes up all the time.
Here's a link to one of my prior posts that shows when you take a look at US to So.Korea and compare apples to apples, we are doing just as well as they are. »Re: All ISPS Marginal
As for those in rural TN and elsewhere without DSL or other broadband, the problem is not penetration but cheap labor, extraordinary tax incentives or direct federal funding to pay the underlying costs to bring broadband to that area in a manor that is cost effective. Look at what Verizon did to Maine and Vermont, they just told them it wouldn't happen and sold off the existing wire assets. Population density is the key to broadband penetration, and charts and listings that don't take it into account are meaningless.
Of course if we actually had a FCC or other government agency with a true national policy on broadband, a lot would might be different.
