While cleaning out my inbox today, I came across Merrill Lynch’s annual wireless matrix, a measure of cellphone revenues, prices and other statistics from around the world. Although the survey, which has near-Bible status in the wireless industry, was released in June, it’s particularly pertinent given the report released today by Canada’s biggest ISPs about how the country’s broadband service is world-class by every measure. [UPDATE, Nov. 5: To clarify, the word “every” was used to sum up the fact that the report says Canada is a leader in all the major measures commonly used in international studies to compare broadband services among different countries – availability, user adoption, speed and price. It wasn’t intended to be taken to mean literally every comparison that could possibly be made. You can read the full report, and its evaluation of a number of aspects of Canadian broadband as they compare to other services around the world, here.]
