It’s not that simple.

The US is a huge country and its citizens are spread out all over not just in large urban centers. Much of Europe, Japan and South Korea are the opposite. It is much easier to upgrade Internet infrastructures in densly populated areas than open country and small towns.

Two weeks ago I mentioned, for example, that my friend Ira in Yokohama, Japan pays less than $30 per month for 100-megabit-per-second fiber-to-the-home Internet service.
