Incorrect. Sweden has higher urbanization than the US (85% vs. 81%), but lower density. If you look at a population density map of Sweden, you will see that the vast majority of Swedish citizens inhabit the lower half of the country, making broadband penetration easier. This would kind of be like discussing New York's broadband - most of the population inhabits the NYC area, therefore broadband rates (which are some of the best in the nation) are skewed.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
