Chris, > I think Norway is several years ahead of S. Korea, which would put them nearly a decade ahead of us. I doubt it. Tenchusatsu

Sweden is the place to live for BB services. Taro New OECD report shows limitations of US broadband public policy The OECD ranked countries both on affordability of broadband packages and price per megabit. Somewhat surprisingly, the US is at the cheap end of the spectrum when it comes to the range of prices, coming in at number four behind Sweden, Denmark, and Switzerland. As of October 2006, the cost per month of broadband service in the US ranged from $15.93 at the low end to $191.20 at the opposite extreme. Swedish broadband ranged from $10.79 to $46.74, Denmark from $11.11 to $105.10, and Switzerland's from $12.53 to $55.65. If AT&T's hard-to-find $10-per-month DSL were considered, the standing of the US would surely improve. Keep in mind that in the US, that $15.93 is likely to buy you a 768Kbps/128Kbps DSL connection, while the $19.87 per month minimum in Japan will result in much faster service. arstechnica.com
