The United States infrastructure is extremely primitive compared to countries such as Denmark and other European unions focusing on advancement in internet connections and reliability. We are still using outdated cable lines and NEED to upgrade our structural lines to fiber optic cables and faster internet speeds to maintain a competitive edge in both the global market and education.
Nearly everything is online nowadays and if most households in the U.S. are still exposed to a slow broadband internet connection then we will never be progressing in a global market that relies on the use of the internet.
