Sweden was the first country to launch an LTE network, and it retains plenty of bragging rights. According to a study by U.K. network-testing firm OpenSignal, Sweden has the fastest 4G networks in the world, averaging download speeds of 22.1 Mbps.
The U.S. was the second country to deliver commercial LTE networks on the world stage, but it ranks far lower in terms of 4G bandwidth delivered.
Further evidence that Yale Law Professor Susan P. Crawford is right about a telecom monopoly in North America that is throttling the Internet and endangering our economic competitiveness. Read Ms. Crawford's book, "Captive Audience: The Telecom Industry and Monopoly Power in the New Gilded Age." Professor Crawford is also being promoted to succeed Julius Genachowski, as FCC Chairman. I wholeheartedly endorse her.
