Cheap megabit - the legal right of every Finn
Finland became the first country to legally secure the universal right to “1 Mbit / s broadband access at a reasonable price”. Moreover, by 2015, the goal has been set to increase the speed to 100 Mbps. By law, the speed of the channel should be at least 75% of the declared for 24 hours during the measurement.
The people of Finland can exercise their right from July 2010, when the law comes into force. According to the law, the access point to the Network must be within a radius of 2 km from the place of residence of any citizen.
Unfortunately, about 2,000 homes in the homeland of Linux and Nokia do not comply with the new law because of the very remote location, so they cannot claim a legitimate service. List of houses is being specified. At the same time, there is a choice of Internet providers who will be obliged to cover the entire territory of the country with cheap communications, with the exception of the above-mentioned houses.
The right to the Internet for every person is a natural norm, which has already been introduced into the legislation of Estonia, France and Greece. But all these countries limited themselves to a declarative statement and did not register a specific access speed. Thus, Finland has become the first country in the world where exactly broadband access is required for all citizens according to the law.

In the future, obviously, the right to the Internet must be prescribed in the Constitution, as well as the right to work, freedom and the pursuit of happiness.
