Look at the series

from the cable industry's lobbying arm. It makes some interesting points. See for instance this one:

»www.cabletechtalk.com/tech-discu···t-equal/

It says OECD stats are flawed because they count broadband connections per 100 residents, which does not account for different household sizes.

For years I have been suspicious of people who say the US is way behind in broadband. Because there is no widespread dissatisfaction with US broadband (Broadband Reports readers are not representative) I have wondered if other countries and their higher saturation and speeds are either a) a result of bad statistics, or b) a result of misallocation of resources (e.g. governments pumping money into networks resulting in speeds higher than anyone needs.) Looks like it might be both.

The US is way behind when it comes residential broadband. On the business side, we're almost tops. But you'll expect that.

That site is spin-mill central, and whiner central. But sometimes it's fun to read Cable CEOs and Verizon's Policy Chieftans duke it out.
