China to Top U.S. in Broadband Subscribers
An anonymous reader writes "China already is rapidly approaching the United States as the country with the largest number of broadband subscribers, according to the El Segundo, Calif.-based firm, and by the end of the year, China is expected to have 34 million subscribers, compared to 39 million in the United States. By the end of 2007, China is expected to have 57 million broadband subscribers, compared to 54 million in the United States, with an even wider lead in the years to follow."
....zombies.
Learning HOW to think is more important than learning WHAT to think.
That's very similar to Europe. They have a higher percentage of broad band usage than the U.S. They also have a higher population density.
Even more interesting but off topic. Compare the population density map of the US to the 2004 election results.
You know what's pathetic? Presidential elections are basically determined by only a handful of people. Los Angeles and New York City. Their numbers barely tip the scales for California and New York, who subsequently barely tip the scales for the rest of the country. If you left out LA and NYC, conservatives would have won all the elections back to the 1980s by land slides.
We have a thing called the Senate which protects the rights of the smaller states from being trampled upon by the larger states.
What?
Man, the only on-topic post in the last 15 and no mod? Throw me a frickin' bone here.
