U.S. Broadband: Almost as good as Russia!

Long time readers will recognize a running joke in the title of this post. Here is a very brief note indicating that fiber is being aggressively deployed in Russia. Meanwhile, in the U.S., we're being told:

• Cellular wireless will solve all our broadband problems....bandwdith caps? What are bandwidth caps?
• VDSL will solve all our problems.....all the phone companies are abandoning their copper cable plant? What does that have to do with anything?
• DOCSIS 3.0 will solve all our problems.....10:1 asymmetric bandwidth? Why is that an issue? You shouldn't be working from home anyway.

So take your choice, and if you need more bandwidth, maybe moving to Russia could be just the ticket.
