Yeah, the US already can't compete with much of the developed world in terms of Internet speed. Our infrastructure is pretty old, and our country is too big to provide fast internet everywhere. Average for the US in 2008 was 3.9Mbs.
Japan and gets around 60 Mbs on average, Korea 45 Mbs, but the smaller the country, the less infrastructure you need and the less time and money it takes to upgrade.
And if people already using high speeds start doing this cloud computing, it would only slow it down further.
