Comment Every Finn already has broadband, pretty much (Score 1) 875

This law is not really about providing each citizen with broadband access, it's more about guaranteeing that the access is not TAKEN AWAY from people who already have it.. The thing is, maintaining physical phone lines in rural areas is expensive, and phone companies want to get rid of them. This law guarantees at least a reasonable wireless broadband option in that scenario. As it is now, DSL is available almost everywhere, including many rural areas. Cities of course have even more options like cable and fibre.
