The United States is a big place, and it is very spread out. You could fit the land mass of the entire U.K. into the U.S. thirty-seven times. You could take every populated portion of the U.K. (that is all cities, towns, and settlements), and squeeze them into the state of Oregon.

And yet the population of Oregon is just shy of 4 million and the population of the UK is just shy of 63 million.

That makes for a much more tangled mass of fibres and much more power demand per square inch of land.

Are you really saying we are better at infrastructure engineering than the US?

I don't thinks so, not now, maybe a century ago but you should see the mess left whenever someone wants to change a cable.

If you treated each state as a small country you could using a modular approach install a better public transport system than any European country serving the whole of the United State, because in large areas you would be starting from scratch. Not having to fill in or dig around structures left over from Roman times.

You know I believe you put some men on the moon on more than one occasion *whispers* you can do it.

The whole of Americas population can be made up statistically of 4 European countries. Russia, UK, Germany and France. Europe is far more densely populated and culturally diverse than America is, or ever will be.
