Small Asian countries are not the same as the US
As the article states VDSL requires a much shorter line length than ADSL so this is going to take a lot longer than the article suggests, at least in the USA. VDSL is not practical in many parts of the US, only major population centers such as Tokyo (and New York if they bothered) could support such short line lengths.

The numbers have probably as much to do with *who* is building out their network as it is what they are using to build it with. The Asian countries are using VDSL and they are building out their infrastructure more than the people in the US so it appears that VDSL is taking over the industry. If US would build out our networks at the same rate as the Asian countries ADSL build out would not appear to be stalling.
