The US has also dumped hundred of billions in subsidies on cable companies for infrastructure. *Everyone* in the US was supposed to have the kind of ~50 Mbps service that is only now becoming mainstream in 2005, for $40 a month. Direct-to-home fiber equal upstream/downstream rates. And it's not that the money wasn't spent, either. The telcos overcommitted and underperformed even what they could've delivered.
