But probably not in quality.

Small industrial countries should be ahead.

I still do not support any fees or taxes to bring us to #1 though. S. Korea only accomplished it because the Telco is a monopoly pretty much owned, I think, and controlled by the gov't. A nuke from N. Korea would end that real quick though.
Most ISP are basically monopolies here too. People at most have TWO choices for an broadband ISP.

Also the whole "the US is so much bigger" excuse is just lame. Ok let's look at it by state. Let's compare small but very populated states to some of these countries. I bet those states still lag behind in broadband penetration in comparison. What is Rhode Island's broadband penetration % compared to these Euro countries. Half the COUNTIES in the US are bigger than Rhode Island.

You "bet" that those states lag? If you're going to state that the arguement that lower penetration numbers is due to US population density and size is "lame", you might want to come up with something other than a guess
