And yet Americans have some of the highest cost, lowest bandwidth so-called "broadband" in the developed world. I am getting to the point where I want to call BS on your argument.
Go look at cable company or telco capex and opex budget and tell me what you find. Sure, cost per bit transported continues to decline but volume of traffic continues to climb. Technology advances are what make that possible but the equipment and software and not to mention the labor involved isn’t cheap.
