Amended from Om Malik on Broadband:
Like many urban myths, we have come to believe that US is a broadband laggard. Often pundits hold up the shining examples of South Korea and Japan as countries that are miles ahead of the US. Media is quick to point out that even puny Singapore and Belgium are ahead of US in terms of broadband penetration. I know, I have often said so, and have been wrong.
Daily Wireless has additional info: Often pundits hold up the shining examples of South Korea and Japan as countries that are miles ahead of the US. Media is quick to point out that even puny Singapore and Belgium are ahead of US in terms of broadband penetration. I know, I have often said so, and have been wrong.
Maybe discounting the importance of penetration vrs the accumulated broadband total does make sense. I'm not so sure. I think broadband penetration is an important metric of our society's competitiveness. |
