having recently visited Belgium where just about everyone has it
(even cell
phone access is cheap and 5 bars even in the littlest backwater
village in
the mountains). Here in NJ, the most populous state in the nation,
I live
45 minutes from Philadelphia and can only get Comcast cable (I'd
rather eat
dirt than deal with that bunch!!) with DSL & FIOS not even on the
planning
boards!! ...huh??
Most Americans are perfectly happy with whatever levels of
communications services are currently available to them. Most
Americans are not aware of what levels of service COULD be available
to them. Most Americans who have cell phone or internet service are
quite fat and happy with what they have. For the most part, they
just do not know any better. My opinions only.
