Research firm: U.S. losing status as global broadband leader
The U.S. is falling behind in the race to deploy high-speed Internet service, and ranks 35th out of 148 countries in Internet bandwidth, according to The World Economic Forum. Data show that major U.S. cities are being outpaced by emerging nations such as Latvia, which has Internet speeds about 2½ times faster than San Antonio. Officials say the lag could strain GDP growth.
