FindLaw columnist Eric Sinrod writes regularly in this section on legal developments surrounding technology and the internet.
Do you feel like your online life is moving ahead somewhat out of control at warp speed? Well, according to the third annual Speed Matters survey by the Communications Worker of America (CWA), we need to pick up the pace of the Internet here in the United States. Indeed, the CWA concludes that speed of the Internet in the US is continuing to fall behind other countries.
In South Korea, the average download speed is 20.4 mbps, four times faster than in the US. The US, as set forth in the survey, ranks 28th in the world in terms of average Internet connection speeds, and is behind countries like Japan at 15.8 mbps, Sweden at 12.8 mbps and the Netherlands at 11.0 mbps.
