I wonder how they figure population density... Is it just a matter of land area divided by the number of residents, or something more complex. I think that it would need to be much more complex than that for a country that has such diversity as the US or Canada. Smaller countries, such as European coundties, or Japan may be able to get by with straight averages, but I still think that it would be better. And what about penetration? Is this a matter of homes passed, or actual subscribers? Perhaps it would be a better measure to percentage of homes that are capible of having broadband access. -Sean
