The Finnish government will invest €66m in the plan while €25m will come from the EU and €40m will come from individual municipalities and towns.

Someone's getting value for money, our clowns wasted €250million on the farce that was the NBS

The plan is that there should be a 100 Mbp connection within 2 km of every home by 2015. But people will have to pay to bring it to their homes and in the more remote areas it could cost each household up to €53,000. So just like anywhere else it depends where you live.
