December 08, 2011

Kurt Scherf, vice president and principal analyst with Dallas-based Parks Associates, said, “A big reason is the massive difference in square mileage of the U.S. versus many other countries. South Korea is always brought up in comparison to the U.S., but their population density is so much greater than ours. You have many more people living in high-rise apartments, which can be wired more easily for high-speed access versus our single-family home tendency here in the U.S.”
