[Note: This comment comes from reader Robert Berger. I recently heard someone refer to the type of broadband services that we have here in the U.S. as 'Dialup 2.0'. DLH]

It was interesting to see this right after the "Middle class goes broadband as price falls" article.

We don't have broadband in the US, we have "middleband" just a little better than dialup, but not really broadband.

Then the article "Fastest Internet Ever Coming Your Way" says that the real broadband is 100Mbps to 1Gbps and someday we'll have that in the US.

Well you can get that TODAY (100Mbps) in Japan for $50/month (fiber to the building) and they are actually upgrading it to Gbit ethernet already in some places in Japan.

So the US is the Internet 3rd world country now with Crony Capitalists stifling innovation thru the remonopolisation of telecom while the rest of the world blows by us.
