Atleast once a day I'm going to post a new fact, explain it, and give you a link to a more in depth explanation.
At some point last year, Finland was the first country to declare that having access to the internet is a legal right. Since then, other countries such as France have joined in and now countries like the US and the UK are really begining to lag behind.
At the moment people in Finland have the legal right to have access to 1 megabit broadband, and there are plans to expand this to 100 megabit by 2015.
100 megabit broadband is becoming more and more common in countries such as Korea (The good one) and Japan.
The UK and other quick-to-develop countries really shot themselves in the foot by building the communication infrastructure when the technology was in it’s infancy stage, the wires which are incredibly expensive to replace are slowly being converted to fibre optic cabling (the latest technology) whilst slow-to-develop countries like Korea were able to install fibre optics straight away, and have thus been enjoying 100 megabit broadband for years.
