This might sound strange to most people who routinely log on to the Internet without a second thought, but not everywhere in the World has access to the Internet, and in most places it costs money. However, at the 2003 World Summit on the Information Society, Finland proposed and implemented some interesting new ideas.
Because the Internet is so new, legislators have had trouble regulating what can be put on it and it's usage. Finland claims that the Internet is so engrained in modern day society it is part of the maintenance of human rights to ensure that everyone can access it.
They emphasize the freedom of opinion and expression and believe everyone should be able to research what they please, regardless of whether they have paid for the service or not, resulting in usage of the Internet becoming a “fundamental right” of all people in Finland just like free choice and freedom of religion!
