That begs the question: then why is it so mediocre in the US *cities*? I 
live in San Jose. What are my choices? 6Mb Sonic? 6Mb Speakeasy? (Cuz I 
live near the CO, I can get these; others aren't so fortunate.) Whoopee. 
If I didn't live exactly where I do, there are wireless business 
services I could get (but not here). And none of these are cheap.

Again, I live in the center of San Jose, the state's third most populous 
city (tenth in the nation). There's no density problem here.
