England: 395 people/km^2
USA: 34 people/km^2
Also the reason why some other comparisons between Europe and the US (like energy usage) should always come with caveats.
- radicaldreamer 16y agoExactly, also a lot of European countries mandate 99.x% coverage for licenses, but the US doesn't.
- billpaetzke 16y agoI saw a billboard today from AT&T that advertised 97% coverage of the US. And that's probably optimistic.
- radicaldreamer 16y ago97% of where the population is covered– by 2G. Not 97% of the US's area or with 3G or even covered with adequate capacity for high population areas.

- bradleyland 16y agoGeographical area: Finland: 330k km^2 USA: 9,692 km^2 Despite the our higher population density, the US is almost 30 times larger than Finland. Because cell phone coverage is also a factor of area, you could safely assume that it would be (approximately) 30 times more expensive to blanket the US than Finland, yet our population density is only double.
