While many have griped, complained (you name it) over the sad state of U.S. broadband, particularly when compared with other countries, some have said it’s all a bunch of “hooey.” A report released by economic consulting firm LECG, commissioned by Nokia Siemens Networks would tend to agree with that, putting the U.S. at #1 in broadband — with caveats. This placement assumes you use the so-called “Connectivity Scorecard,” which measures a number of items unrelated to broadband as part of its ranking system.
