Today Finland officially becomes first nation to make broadband a legal right
via thenextweb.com
Starting today (July 1), every Finnish citizen now has a guaranteed legal right to a least a 1Mbps broadband connection, putting it on the same footing as other legal rights in the country such as healthcare and education.
Last year, Finland was the first nation in the world to pass this type of legislation, followed by Spain in November.
The Finish government has promised guaranteed speeds of 100Mbps by 2015 for all of its citizens, and currently about 97% of Finns already have access to broadband connections.
