    You’d be surprised, but many countries with much lower GDP/capita have far more developed/sophisticated ICT services than the US, not to mention far more competition.

    This is not just my personal view, I’ve had Americans (who have travelled the world) mention this as well.

      I wouldn’t be :) have visited many of them, and worked in a fair couple too

      what was shocking (on my first visit there) is how absolutely fucking antiquated US infra is across multiple dimensions. not shocking these days, I now understand so many of the reasons for it

      that understanding also makes so much of what comes out of the US (and its weird obsessions with specific non-solutions) make a lot more sense
