The article includes bad news for consumers: the author mentions that "the US ranks a disappointing 15th in overall broadband development", but also says that the US leads everyone else in one critical area: "US carriers win when it comes to sucking your wallet dry".
Speaking as a consumer, I'll add that the mantra of the Eighties is coming true: at least in terms of profit, US Cellular companies /are/ doing more with less. If the chart in the article is any guide, "4G" really stands for "Gouge 'em, Gang up on 'em, and Get lost before they Get wise".
