The Finnish government has elevated to the rank of Law , Internet access for its citizens. The Ministry of Communications said that "a broadband connection for high quality at a reasonable price is a basic right." The operators of the country then become "a universal service providers' and must be able to serve "any permanent home or office" with a download speed of at least one megabit of data per second.
time ago, if I remember on my Facebook page or on those of Lexcivilis, I proposed just such a thing. I was encouraged by the protest of the workers of Carlsberg Ceccano, in front of their factory closing. They wanted to defend their historic brewery, one of the oldest in central and southern Italy. Being skeptical about this possibility, I suggested that he take action on the Internet to find employment retraining, in the wide range in the Region. Local authorities could help a relocation to other areas. I was told that only very few of them were familiar with the Internet, and almost all of these, through their children.
I would say that "the availability of broadband Internet is the freedom of movement in the virtual world, such as train or car to the movement are in the real world .
This is a clear concept of the Finnish Government, and it does not surprise me if I see how pretty she is, from all points of view, the person of the Prime Minister. Women, just over forty, party leaders, Master in Social Sciences, Prime Minister dynamic and decisive: a mix enviable, especially since the Italian people, dealing with subjects far more "sad".

In Italia avremmo certamente qualche problema ad avere anche solo piccoli passi in avanti sul tema della "libertà di movimento in rete", almeno a sentire politici del calibro di Gasparri (capogruppo PDL al Senato), parlare a giugno 2010 della necessità di bloccare il traffico di intercettazioni dai tribunali su floppy disk. Per restare in Par condicio, per contro, basta vedere come nel sito PD sia difficile trovare il testo del nuovo Statuto approvato nel 2010. L'uso di Internet che i politici italiani conoscono è puramente comunicativo, quasi per nulla veramente interattivo, ossia volto a mostrare e cercare di convincere, più che a permettere di partecipare really. For this reason, everything is delegated to a few groups of young and / or communication experts in order to prevent the Lords of the building should realize that things like floppy disks, perhaps, if they do not find it for some time.
We also in Italy the broadband access possible and accessible to all Internet broadband tariff for at least two hours per day for all. It is not a cost but an investment that should not be missed.
