I’ma be dead honest. It’s the same for a lot of rail systems and public transport. All of Switzerland is like 16,000 square miles. The continental US is 3,120,000 square miles. Laying out high speed fiber on such a small plot of land would be as easy as losing a fart in the wind.
We aren’t the richest if we’re the most in debt and we just keep printing money with no backing and going further into debt and printing more to pay our debts because as soon as those debts stop getting their payments the dollar will completely collapse but the money we print is just causing inflation to get worse and worse, which completely tanks anyone’s savings for a retirement.
It isn’t getting better unless we have a different government. Israel campaigned to seat one of our last senators and now they’re completely removing campaign finance donation caps so it will get even worse.
It is exactly how it works - that’s purely american exceptionalism… China, India, Japan (which is REALLY spread out, btw!) are also big and sparse, that doesn’t stop them from doing such things
I don’t know if anyone told you this or not, but fiber and copper network lines have to be connected to function. you can’t just run them in one neighborhood and magically have them connect to another across the state.
youre right and the only way to cross the desert is connect every square km identically to how you would a suburb, how could I not think of this?
And those lines, we must put them in new now nothing like this already exists, what have usaians have been doing until now?? poor Cali cut off from the rest of the internet :(

My guy. We are the richest country in the history of the universe.
Stop making excuses.
We have the money, we have the people, we could absolutely make this country better.

It’s funny how every single time, the usians have the same exact excuse. Even when it’s proven irrelevant.
so you’re saying it takes the same amount of time, money, and effort to paint a room that’s 100sqm vs one that’s 18,750sqm?
No, they are saying that you have 100 times more resources, so you could do it if you really wanted.
It doesn’t work that way because of how completely spread apart the US is. It would take much more money per square mile and much, much, longer to do.

Japan is small, and LOL if you think most of China and india have great internet, and not just some of their more major cities.
100 times more resources? wtf are you talking about? fiber isn’t manufactured in the US.
manpower has an upper limit of what actually helps. ie: you can’t make a baby faster by getting more women pregnant.
if you want to talk about money, Switzerland is literally founded on banking establishments.
so what “resources” are you referring to?
If youre running 25 gigabit to all of the Nevada desert youre even dumber than you sound
