Whether you think it is odd or not, it is true! Finland has made broadband access a legal right, and it is the first country in history to do so. According to local sources, the Ministry of Transport and Communication has passed a law that forces internet providers to offer high speed internet to all of Finland’s 5.3 million citizens.
Finland has one of the highest connection rates of any country, with 96 percent of its citizens on-line. The decision to make internet broadband connection a legal right was motivated by the desire to make internet access available to the countries in rural areas. Finland communications minister Suvi Linden stated that high speed access will improve the quality of life in some of the country’s most isolated areas.
Finland is now the only country on the planet that has made broadband access a legal right. Linden has also promised to significantly increase broadband for all of its citizens by 2015. This move is one of many that the country has made to upgrade its broadband infrastructure.
