Mervi It doesn't really surprise me that South Korea is Number 1 when they are such a huge gaming country. I'm not sure what came first though - ie was good internet access demanded, or are they a huge gaming country BECAUSE they have good internet? Not sure.
Hey broadband a legal right? Yeah! Also, is that a pic of you in that article?
Also, "It's only a 1Mbps connection for now, but by 2015 they're promised 100Mbps."
Hmmm maybe we ARE crap after all !!!!!!!! (re internet that is)
There is some rubbish policy in Australia that is supposed to do something similar along the lines of guaranteeing broadband access for everyone. But in practical terms of course it doesn't quite work out that way. You may have access via some horribly expensive impractical method.... then again it sounds like the Finnish one could be the same! (only going by the article, not knowing the fine print)
Although as you said the operators aren't happy as connecting remote locations costs them a lot, it seems different to the Aus one. Here it costs the USER a lot not the operator ..... the connection cost is passed on.
'thul thanks for the info.
I guess 11312 kbit/s is like 10 mbps? over 5 times mine >
And 100Mbit/s !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
