If your point is, "Finland does broadband better than America," then well done you. It can join the club with just about every other first-world nation on the planet.
Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for anything that looks vaguely like a solution to that problem, and not merely gloating about it.
EDIT: I'm sorry for the tone, but I see no value in pointing out flaws and failings without offering solutions to them. It's plenty easy in today's world to hate on the US. Most of it is probably even deserved. But it doesn't make anything better, so I don't see what it contributes to the discussion, beyond an opportunity for smugness.
- amazon_not 11y agoNo worries, mate. I'm not that thin skinned. As to solutions, I've already pointed out the USF in a sibling comment, but using that would actually require the political will to, you know, actually do something to solve the problem. EDIT: my actual reply to rayiner wasn't made to gloat, but to point out the substantial differences as a counterpoint to the statement that the US and Finland are statistically similar. It also contained the core problem, the lack of a properly constructed regulatory regime, which also points out the obvious thing to fix i.e. the solution required. However if political activism isn't your thing then the only other solution is to build your own network.
