Broadband access (Score 0)

This article is wrong and frankly stupid. The lower 48 has 100% broadband access. Whether or not people want to pay for it is another matter. The truth is that dialup is good enough for most people because the parts of the internet people are interested in reside in the US and the backbone works well. Going to websites in Japan suck even with broadband, so maybe it's the world that lags. Here is a link: http://www.internettrafficreport.com/ . The US has an average response time of 131ms, Europe 252ms, Asia 278ms, so twice as fast basically.
