Glenn Strachan has written an article about what he thinks is wrong with the US view of municipal Wi-Fi. While the title of his piece seems to focus on wireless, the article itself deals with America’s failings in broadband:

“In my opinion, America has the wrong view of broadband. It doesn’t see the connection between broadband deployment and national economic gains. It doesn’t consider, the way other countries do, that the people in rural communities, not just large cities, can leverage access to the Internet into business opportunities that generate income.”
