Pretty cool ... But doesn't Finland have some very remote areas? Considering that my folks back home pay a ludicrously high price for their DSL light, I might convince them to emigrate

Yes, that's true. For example my ISP is located in Helsinki, some ~350km away and I wouldnt call my area a 'remote area'. I'm pretty interested to see how the speeds will be in Lapland for example after this.

I believe it will be an joint effort between the government and the ISP's they select.

What happens when you don't want an internet connection? Why should you have to pay for it?

Because it's not up to you. You pay taxes for the dimwits and they decide what to do with the money. I mean, my taxes wont go up because of this, so I dont really care. That is, aslong as they spend the money wisely.
