If population more condensed = greater access to high speed connections, why don't we have 100+ MB connections in NYC, ATL, DET, SAN, SEA, CHI, LAX, BOS, etc?It's a combination of multiple factors.

1) Population density
2) Government built telecom (NTT Japan was government built, still partially government owned. Similar situation in South Korea)
2) Investors willing to take on long term (30+ year) debt

Within the US cities you mentioned you'll still find pockets of places with better access. A friend of mine lives in NYC and his building provides 100mbps Ethernet access to all of the condos. Out on the west coast you have services like Paxio.

It's not that the services don't exist in the US -- they're just not widespread.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Thats-Funny-21462912 Fri, 21 Nov 2008 11:43:28 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Thats-Funny-21462810 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Thats-Funny-21462810 Fri, 21 Nov 2008 11:29:39 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Thats-Funny-21462670 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Thats-Funny-21462670 Fri, 21 Nov 2008 11:09:58 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Thats-Funny-21462526 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Thats-Funny-21462526 Fri, 21 Nov 2008 10:47:37 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Thats-Funny-21462289 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Thats-Funny-21462289 Fri, 21 Nov 2008 10:10:34 EDT
