Finland first to make broadband a public right

Finland will become the first country to make broadband a public right. In July everyone will have the legal right to at least a 1 MB per second Internet connection; the government is eyeing the prospects of upping it to 100 mbps in 2015. This is not compulsory on the Finnish people, however. Whoever wants a faster Internet connection can buy it at a fairly low price (a public option!).

I'm so glad the Finns have nothing better to do than to increase the speed of their Internet connections, while we here still have to struggle for decent health care.
