May I suggest you look at the legislation within the US which makes rolling out technology alot slower and more costly than most other countries. Take high speed broadband, it is illegal to role out the infrastructure in 'wealthy suburbs' first and neglect the poor ones - in otherwords, they're forced to spend billions rolling out services in areas that provide no immediate return on investment.
Cripes, if we had that sort of monumental stupid legislation like that in New Zealand - there wouldn't be a single DSLAM in any exchange in NZ; we'd all be using dial up. Same can be said for mobile phone infrastructure as well. Before you start 'blaming' the geography, how about looking at the stupid legislation that is passed.
