basic service. That is why everyone needs to be guaranteed access to it - it
has to become a universal service.”
“In today’s information society top quality broadband connections are
essential for people’s everyday life or business everywhere in the country.”

Broadband Deployment in Finland 1 Mbit/s by 2010 l By July 1st, 2010 every permanent residence must
have a reasonably priced access to a fixed or wireless subscriber connection with an average downstream rate of at least 1 Mbit/s.
l The rate of 1 Mbit/s has been defined as a universal service but no public funding will be used.
![Page 17: NextGen 2011 Suvi Linden UN Broadband Commission](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051609/54733d6eb4af9fa90a8b5177/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
100 Mbit/s by 2015 l By the end of 2015 all permanent residences shall
be within two kilometres reach of high-speed connection permitting at least 100 Mbit/s connections.
l Consumers will acquire their subscriber connection at their own expense.
l In built-up areas telecom operators will build high-speed connections on market terms. This will achieve a population coverage of around 95%.
![Page 18: NextGen 2011 Suvi Linden UN Broadband Commission](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051609/54733d6eb4af9fa90a8b5177/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
100 Mbit/s by 2015 l Extending the coverage to 100% will require that
partly subsidised high-speed connections will be built to around 130,000 households in rural areas.
l Public aid – two thirds – will be provided by the state, municipalities and the EU
l The costs of the project will amount to about 200 million euros, of which telecom operators will pay at least one third.
l Implementation in 2009-2015
