Actually, we do have widespread passenger rail. It's Amtrak, and the coverage isn't really any worse than Europe's offerings.
You better believe that the coverage of Eurail is not to every city and village...it primarily goes for the larger cities.

They have spent all their money on ATT wireless. They don't care about landline crap. Lightspeed is one big lie. They will hand pick the areas to serve and everybody else will have to go elsewhere.....I just don't believe in SBC until they offer me these services. |

That reminds me of those fools who cry:
"Why doesn't the US have widespread passenger rail service, like Japan or England or France or ....... You get the idea.
When Big Brother subsidizes all sorts of neat things, it's easy to have them. If you told the average person, (who might NOT have health care), that the US government should subsidize extremely high-speed broadband, so a bunch of technogeeks could fileshare a bunch of crap, they would look at you like were mentally ill, and they would be right.
There is a hell of lot more important things the US Government should be doing. Subsidizing broadband is at the bottom of the list, IMO.

said by dslwanter :Infrastructure is the key, it would take more for one state than any of those other countries. Plain and simple. Last time I looked those other countries are larger than many single states here in the US. The point being made is that there is absolutely no reason why many of out large cities can not have networks like those countries do. The fact remains that companies here in the US are greedy and don't want to spend any money. Take SBC for example with "Project Suckspeed", while Verizon is taking the initiative to run the fiber to the home where it is useful and not to the local node where we are still stuck with useless crappy copper. |

Infrastructure is the key, it would take more for one state than any of those other countries. Plain and simple.
Now my area will probably be one of the last areas to see this. My CO wasn't enabled with DSL until September of last year.
