>Put another way, the US has to wire up 3,798 Luxembourgs. :) This is such silly logic that it is hard to respond.
Compare the difficulty of burying fiber in an urban area to doing the same in a rural area. In the city they are lucky to bury a couple hundred feet in a day. In rural areas the speed of the trencher is many miles per day. The US failure has nothing to do with population density. Taken another way. If your argument were true, why does broadband in US urban areas still suck? ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
