cooldude7273 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 problem i have with the whole story and studies like this is comparing all of the usa to individual nations. to do it right they should compare the 50 states seperate as a nation to other nations; or take all of europe as one nation when comparing to the usa.why?lets see. size and population numbers. different laws and such in each state. just like each european nation under ueInternet and Telecommunications laws are regulated by the FCC - the Federal Communications Commission. Federal meaning national. National meaning the same internet and telecommunication regulations are the same across the whole country. Breaking it down by states is really just stupid. We're still one country, the gov't is just broken down into smaller divisions for management purposes. Most nations are like this. EU union is not a nation. The EU is a supranational organization. There are still 27 separate nations with in the EU, and then those are broken down into more state-like organizations. So, should we not divide those up and compare them against US states?
