I think going to other countries gets us a different market (ie less video content/quality, probably significantly less upload due to 384k rates, etc). I suppose if you're trying to push an agenda it might be a good idea, but I can't imagine a reason we'd want to compare other countries *_*usage_ to the US. Just my opinion and thoughts.
The only "definition of broadband" we get is from the FCC which trickles down to the states.
