Broadband Access a Legal Right
Finland became the first country in the world to make high-speed Internet access a legal right. The Ministry of Transport and Communications passed the law, which obliges ISPs to offer connections of at least 1Mbps to all of Finland's approximately 5.3 million citizens by July 2010. The slated 1 Mbps speed is expected to be increased to 100 Mbps by the year 2015. Finland is already one of the world's most connected countries, with an estimated 96% of citizens enjoying Internet access.
