Well, in the United States which sits in the middle of North America we are bent on consumerism and commercialism. Yet we never get to see half the cool stuff the pops up in Japan because we're also a bunch of cheap "bass turds" :)
There was a recent headline about a company in Florida looking to push a different technology offering far greater speed than WiMax as well. Right now I'm calling it dead in the water as other technologies are offering similar or better speeds and quicker adoption around the world (3G, CDMA, and all that other stuff). And yes, from a worldwide POV, we suck on broadband pricing. It's not just Comcast though. Cox, Roadrunner, Qwest, Clearwire, all are guilty are charging too much. Conspiracy theory, AOL is paying them to keep costs high so they don't lost more than half their userbase. Anybody know if we have Fiber in Eugene? Verizon's FTTP would rock and supposedly costs as much or less than others and has greater throughput.
