Default Re: Broadband Internet a Legal Right

This is just an unbelievably huge thing. And here I am thinking that the $50 I'm going to pay every month for a 20Mbit connection is a good fee.

I don't think the internet is in the same league as cell phones. The internet is much more than being convenient. A big part of life is internet-dependent, to be honest. Cell phones are much more of a convenience (although, of course, not for everybody).

And btw, we're talking about Finland, as the article points out, the home of Nokia, the world's biggest cell phone manufacturer. They're probably are a birth-right there

Well, the internet it still available to those who don't have broadband. There is dial-up and anyone who has a landline (a legal right) has access to it. I mention broadband as a convenience because it's a measurement of speed, not access.

As for it being Finland, I'm surprised they don't already have universal broadband being as small as that nation is.
