The section on American internet access is pretty old. (ISDN?)

Apparently all cell phones in the US are analog too.

That section has parts that are half-off the rails. The windows and insulation comments struck me as particularly bad.

Once again, for the folks commenting on trains: the US train system is very, very good at hauling cargo. It was designed to do that. It sucks at hauling people because they are on the cargo train tracks and don't have tracks of their own.

That's probably a misunderstanding based on most US carriers using CDMA rather than GSM (like most of the rest of the world).

If by "most" you mean "Verizon and Sprint" versus "AT&T and T-Mobile", that's a curious definition of "most".
