Broadband Envy: Fixing American Broadband

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the you'll-dial-up-and-you'll-like-it dept.

Ant writes "Broadband Reports has a story on broadband services among countries including United States falling behind: 'Bombarded with tales of South Koreans and Swedes watching high-definition soap-operas via 100Mbps connections, the media has apparently developed a nasty case of broadband envy. This Reuters article suggests the US has "missed the high speed revolution", while last week Business Week dubbed America a "broadband backwater".'"

    Dear Anonymous Coward,

    Since your intention is to write unbiased material, I'd like to refer you to WikiPedia's Neutral Point of View article. Notice that NPOV doesn't mean you can't say your opinion, but you must say so ("my opinion is that ...") and possibly present other people's opinion. In your writing, there is a mixed personal opinion and small number of facts. It might have been better to highlight both of them separately.
