The Finnish government has decreed that all citizens will be entitled to at least a 1Mbps broadband connection by July next year, with a 100Mbps service mandatory by 2015.
...
And while 100Mbps will be the minimum service standard, it’s predicted that homes in the capital of Helsinki will enjoy connections around 1Gbps. Yes, you read that right - we’re talking about Gigabit broadband.
The national government will cover up to a third of the projected €200 million cost of the roll-out through a action of unused or under-utilised slices of the radio spectrum. Local municipal regions and telecom operators will **** up the rest of the tab.
