| Population Density... "On the other side of the world, Japan claims to have already rolled out 100 Mbps fiber to eighty five percent of its homes."
This just in, 85% of all homes in Japan are within Major Metro areas where the population density approaches 340 people / sq. km. The US population density is 31 / sq. km.
Tokyo alone has 13416 people / sq. km...

Re: Population Density... Guess what? 80% of Americans live in "city" areas too. Just not that dense, but dense enough. |

bogus argument.
when corrected for population density, the U.S. moves up ONE position from 15th to 14th or something like that.
if pop density is the key, why aren't LA, NYC, San Fran, DC, etc all wired up pretty?
japan has real broadband because they have competition. |

Daly City, CA | Yes. I'm wishing for FTTH myself, but AT&T isn't doing squat. I hate to say this, but I wish Verizon was the big telephone company around these parts. |
