Finland Makes Broadband a Legal Right

The citizens of Finland already enjoy amazing public health care, public day care, and public education at all levels.  But in a recent development, Finland has become the first country to guarantee broadband access to all citizens!  The plan is for all Finns to have a one-megabit megabit connection by this July and a 100mbs connection by 2015!  Yes, that is huge.

With the United States taking big steps in net neutrality, it seems that many countries in the world are moving closer to a future with increased freedom of access to information.  A very exciting time indeed.
