"Yeah, but in Canada, 95% of the population is less than 5 degrees north of the 49th, and that population tend to clump near the cities. "
That statement is accurate but now irrelevant. The Alberta supernet is a government infrastructure project designed to provide high-speed, broadband access to public facilities (and through service providers, to businesses and residences) in Alberta communities, Alberta SuperNet is a partnership involving the government and private enterprise.
Alberta is a rather large place, 660,000 sq. kilomters. Sweden is about 410,000 Sq. Km. Alberta also has roughly one fifth the population of Sweden. If left only to the service providers broadband would never get to rural communities.
It will take government intervention to lessen US broadband Envy.

Um... did you see the initials CIA?
There is also a treaty prohibiting the militarization of space, but that isn't stopping the 800 lb gorilla (USofA) from doing it anyway.
Th US will just ignore any treaty it pays lip service to.

In this case the cosmonauts should be replaced by Bush, Kerry and their seconds...
