That is pretty epic right there. Now you see more immigrants crossing the Finland/other places borders.

Eh, as far as I am concerned, Finland hasn't been exactly swarmed by immigrants.

It is no surprise, social democrats always supported that media are accessible to the masses and this is basically an extrapolation of that notion. Now guess what political movement is dominant in Scandinavia. :P

It isn't really retarded or anywhere near in my opinion, because internet access is important for several things, as Kyuubit already mentioned, like education, work, but also news and more detailed information.

Don't forget, more communication! :mrgreen:

To make it more awesome, it's not dial-up. Which, to me, wins.

I see the point, I mean, have you ever realized what you need internet for? Want a job? Internet and email. Want to enroll in college? Internet and email (constantly, all year round)

If you want to be a productive member of society these days, you need internet. (And dial-up isn't even enough to load the main page of most sites nowadays, so yeah)
