This appeal to American exceptionalism does not stand up to scrutiny.
A lot of European countries have far lower population densities that the US, but still better infrastructure and broadband.
The US just is that dysfunctional.
- xondono 5y agoSome places in europe have lower population densities because of low population, not because of massive distances. The problem in the US is that distances are way longer.
- iptrans 5y agoThe US has a well developed and competitive national backbone market. When building networks the geographical extremities of the nation do not matter, only the distance to the closest point of presence. Europe and the US are not that dissimilar in geographical extent or population density, so neither of these can be used as convincing arguments for American exceptionalism. The fact remains that the US is just that dysfunctional compared to Europe.
