Broadband geeks should waste no time in diving into the abundance of Excel spreadsheets provided by the OECD Broadband Portal. Two weeks ago, in “America’s Broadband Shame,” How the World Works reported that the United States had fallen to 15th place in the world, as measured by number of broadband subscribers per capita. But considerably more detail concerning the broadband circumstances of the 30 members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development is now available.The top performer in per capita broadband penetration is Denmark, with 34.3 subscribers per 100 population. The U.S. has only 22.1. True, the U.S. is a much bigger, more spread out country. If you account for size, the U.S. does about the same as other big countries, notably, Australia and Canada.
