Finland pmakes broadband internet a right
 

Finland has passed a law the requires the telecommunications companies to provide broadband internet access (speeds of at least 1 megabit per second) to every person. "The country is aiming for speeds that are 100 times faster -- 100 megabit per second -- for all by 2015."

nice, love typos in the thread title :P

that is fucking kick ass. keeping people from being able to have internet access is like keeping the doors on all libraries locked!

Porn for everyone, yey !!!

interesting!

finally, im guessing most countries will be doing this within the next 5-10 years

Whoopee for us. I think it's already possible except for the most northern parts of finland. I even get like 5mbps wireless on my summer cabin which is on an island, like 5 miles off the mainland.

who is keeping someone from being able to have internet access?

i guess we know why you're not called "themadreader"

Good for Finland :)
