US ranks 15 with OECD

Thanks to Mary Mehsikomer for sending me the heads up on the latest OECD report. So the good news is that as of December 2008, the US is the most wired city in the world – when you look at sheer numbers. When you look at per capita basis, we’re not so hot.

The US ranks 15 in terms of broadband subscribers per 100 inhabitants
The US ranks 14 in terms of average monthly broadband subscription price

So that’s not so hot. You know who is hot? Denmark, the Netherlands, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Finland and then Korea. Maybe we need to start looking at what they do – build our National broadband plan after reading theirs.
