EU lagging behind in fast broadband

The high speed broadband gap between the EU and U.S is widening as the U.S performs better than the EU in most broadband metrics: this is the main message from the publication: U.S. vs. European Broadband Deployment: What Do the Data Say?, presented by its author in a meeting at the think-tank CEPS in Brussels in October 2014. This comprehensive study compiles a wide range of broadband indicators and comparisons, looking among other criteria at deployment levels in urban and rural areas, the type of technology, investment levels, broadband speeds, prices and other relevant policy indicators, with the U.S leading on most.
