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.

NY, Chicago and LA should have world class networks that compete with the rest of the world since they are dense.
