If you have two items, travelling at different speeds and the one ahead 
goes faster, they never approach each other but the distance grows. Both 
go forward though.

So I fail to see the problem. Most US broadband or semi-broadband users 
are on infrastructure which cannot be reasonably upgraded to the 
bandwidth offered in South Korea without forklift upgrades and digging 
up the streets. With the amount of clue present, it´s unlikely that the 
upstream bandwidth in US or most of Europe will grow substantially over 
the next five years.
