Finland Wants to Have its Internet and Eat It Too

Life, liberty and the right to broadband access?
If Thomas Jefferson and our enlightened forefathers were here today, perhaps our unalienable rights would mimic Finland's, which will now include the right to broadband access. According to Finland's Ministry of Transport and Communication, 1-megabit Web access will become a legal right for all citizens in July.
France is one of the few countries that has made it a human right but Finland said it's the first country to make it a legal right.

This moronic bit of news looks surreal. What's next - the right to a five-story mansion in the Bahamas? The right to the pursuit of foolishness? Apparently they don't know that there ain't no such thing as free Internet.
