The author is Swiss – your ad hominem attach fails twice. And again, I'll direct you to original point of my above comment and a point made in the essay: if you want to be effective you'll need to look past ideology to see the actually working dynamics of the system. There is no doubt that the Swiss internet service provision system is superior to the US and Germany – no doubt. The essay explains why, an essay you are welcome to read.

Ok and you couldn't get my argument: Why not Rumania, South Korea? These countries have also a great quality of internet. On mobile Poland, France and Austria?

This is also a difference between an ideologicopinion piece with a "Ive told you so" and "Markets are bad " to an scientific review.

I'm sure the analysis could be expanded – why don't you give your try at an essay? If you write it, I'll read it.

How much should the essay be expanded? Surely we don't want a 1:1 scale model of reality. We probably should not factor in the conductivity of water and compare against the cost of 1 liter of milk; although if I wanted to attack the integrity of the essay I might lament those factors' absence.

Snark aside, I like that the author chose to compare Switzerland, Germany, and the US. It elegantly illustrated the similarities and differences.

I can judge an analysis even if I am not aiming to write another one.

Sorry this debate is getting weird and boring. Have a nice day.

Correction: you can judge an analysis poorly and incorrectly.
