The FCC’s International Bureau (Bureau) has released its fifth International Broadband Data Report which compares the state of broadband deployment in the U.S. to the international community. In the report, the Bureau includes information on fixed broadband deployment data in the U.S. and the European Union with a focus on rural areas, advertised and actual fixed broadband speeds in 40 countries around the world, and broadband prices (both fixed and mobile plans) across those 40 countries. Among other things, the report concludes that in comparison to European countries, high-speed fixed broadband service is more widely deployed in the U.S.
