The US is so spread out that anything to do with transportation, being
people, packages, or ip packets becomes quite costly.
Well then, let's take Sweden:
total: 449,964 sq km
This is slightly larger than california. We're 9 million.
I think at least 90% of Swedish households have access to at least ADSL
2M/1M, and 95% of households have access to 384kbit/s UMTS mobile
wireless.
So, we're 9 million, Californa is what, 60million, on the same surface
area. Is there any reason why california, in itself one of the largest
economies in the world, seems to have problems delivering anything close
to broadband to its inhabitants? So yes, the US must have structural
problems here...
Have you tried to use any "distribution of people" function on your numbers?
Here in CZ we have more railroads than you in SE or California in US have.
But I'm very far away to argue that Sweden or California have structural
problems ...
