And I've never gotten a useful wireless signal in any park anywhere until Estonia. I was even online in the middle of the Estonian countryside... In equivalent places in the U.S. I'd probably struggle to get a cellphone signal. To boot, I sometimes find the wireless signal in nice hotels to be dodgy at best. So I basically I don't expect such excellent omnipresent wireless, not in the US and not in Europe. It's nice to have your expectations exceeded now and again...

I can never successfully connect my iPod Touch to the "free public wifi" network that pops up when in D.C., and I live in the heart of downtown. Frankly, I don’t know that the US is that wired.
