From July next year everyone in Finland will be legally entitled to a minimum broadband speed of 1Mb.
The Finnish government are to make Finland the first country in the world to have a minimum broadband speed as a legal requirement. What is more is that they have said that this is just an intermediary step before they roll out 100Mb fibre broadband by 2015.
The 5 million population of Finland already has a 95% connection rate to some form of Internet and it is clear to see that the Finnish government see how important the Internet is as a human right.
