I would say that plain geography counts too. Most countries in europe and SE Asia, where penetration is the highest, are a fraction of the geographical size of the USA.

If I ran a country the size of New Jersey, obviously its much easier to wire that square mileage with fiber, as opposed to the whole USA.
True, it is easier to wire a small country as opposed to a big one.

Excuse, Excuse, Excuse, always some excuse as to why they can't offer decent next gen internet service in America.
