(populations; population densities in people per square km, pasted

South Korea 48M; 491
Netherlands 16M; 395
Denmark 5M; 126
Iceland 0.3M; 2
Canada 33M; 3
Switzerland 7M; 181
Belgium 10M; 339

Norway 5M; 14
Sweden 9M; 20
United States 296M; 30
So, of the 11 countries that the OECD thinks have greater broadband
penetration than the USA, 6 are more densely-populated than the USA
and 5 are not.
Not that this necessarily means anything, but I thought your
