Re: This study says US doing well where it counts in http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r19915368 en Wed, 08 Oct 2008 04:47:27 EDT Wed, 08 Oct 2008 04:47:27 EDT Re: This study says US doing well where it counts http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19915631 nasadude : The most striking result of The Connectivity Scorecard is just how low many countries score. Even the world’s best connected countries have little room for complacency and much work to do. While a perfect 10 is a possibility if and only if a country topped all of the components, the wide dispersion of scores and the failure of any country to score even 7 out of 10 shows that there is not one country that is uniformly strong on all dimensions of Connectivity. For example, even the U.S. registers mediocre performance in broadband relative to the existing best performers today.

everything is relative, innit?

my takeaway? The U.S. does a good job, in a business sense, with the crappy system we have.

doesn't Nokia/Siemens make equipment that would help countries improve their performance in "connectivity utilization"?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19915631 Fri, 01 Feb 2008 13:10:20 EDT Re: This study says US doing well where it counts http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19915562 JTRockville : The Nokia/Sieman's study included broadband as 1 of 30 indicators. Not sure you can conclude that any single indicator is doing well or poorly based on that study.

For example, literacy and government usage (or any of the other 30) could be ranked high enough to compensate for what our broadband coverage lacks. Or not.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19915562 Fri, 01 Feb 2008 13:00:35 EDT Re: This study says US doing well where it counts http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19915429 TK Junk Mail :

I've done a study that shows broadband in the U.S. sucks, but it's not ready to publish yet - trust me on the findings.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19915368 Fri, 01 Feb 2008 12:28:21 EDT This study says US doing well where it counts http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19914960 TK Junk Mail : It looks like US Broadband is doing alright, according to this study:
