Finland becomes first country to say broadband is a basic right

Benton.org: In Finland, the Ministry of Transport and Communications said that as of July 1 the country’s citizens have a basic right to broadband speeds of 1 Mbps and suggested that for operators who have to supply such a service a reasonable charge would be between 30 to 40 Euros ($36.70 and $48.90) per month. Finland also has an ambitious goal of connecting every citizen to a 100 Mbps connection by 2015. So should the U.S. follow suit?
