U.S. falls behind in telephone, Internet technology

Those are rinky dink sized countries compared to how spread out and large America is. They should rate internet availability by cost, and then compare cell phone plans. Japan would come in last. This place has the most rediculous rates for cell phone plans in the world. I rarely use mine to talk, and it cost me more than double of what my family pay in the states and they have unlimited talk minutes.

In this interesting article, there is something umprecise , since the real inventor of modern telephone is not Graham Bell, but has been officially reckonnised that is ANTONIO MEUCCI from ITALY, He leaved in N.Y. Also you forgot to say that Italy has the largest number of cellophone, their numbers outnumber the entire population (60,000,000)

I wasn't aware that people still use telephones -they must be gaining popularity again. -They must be talking Voip telephones.

iPhone unlimited data/skype ~$50-60 a month (this is the standard). Skype has unlimited access to landline connections ~$5 a month. Voip to Voip is always free.

Some areas still have crappy cell availability (forget about 3G). Many are getting their TV thru the Internet now (Hulu etc.)

= this report is extremely dated.
