Experts like Hans Rosling say intelligent things about measuring progress and security by looking at education and health, but there are many days when I feel like progress should be measured by Internet access. The latest study shows the U.S. ranks 25th in the world for Internet connection speed

nearly half of all U.S. residents’ Internet connections fall below the U.S. Federal Communications Commission’s minimum definition of broadband, at 4 megabits per second download

Well, at least they have education and health going for them…oh, uh, wait a minute.

Someone should turn the study into a comparison of defensive capability for cyberwar. That might turn things around in a hurry.
