Re: what else is new
I think you misunderstood what I meant. Our DSL data rates are much less than yours while our prices for that service are much more. Example someone here in the US can pay $50/mo. (or more) for 1500Kps download with 128Kps upload. Here in the US we pay much more for a much inferior product. I was trying to point out that what passes for DSL broadband here would be considered substandard in other countries - something the statistics do not take into account. It is like comparing apples to oranges - they are both fruits but definitely not the same thing.
Unfortunately we have almost no fiber deployment in the US (or at least useful fiber deployment - there's is a lot of fiber in the ground that is not connected). Here's my look at fiber deployment in the US.

Thanks for the reply. Hope I explained myself better in this post - I don't think we disagree on cost in the US versus Japan. I think I'll go out to my backyard, dig some holes, bury some cables, and see how rich I get.:D
