Operadora na Estônia diz: "Se nós não fizermos primeiro (broadband), as cidades e as "utilities" farão

Interessante, a Estônia não é um país rico, mas está avançando rapidamente nas novas maneiras de fazer negócios. James Enck comenta que serviços de 5Mbps por 30 euros já estão disponíveis, e a operadora Elion está se posicionando rapidamente para oferecer os serviços broadband demandados.

Toivo Praakel of Elion in Estonia
presented the incumbent viewpoint, which was, "If we don't do it first,
the municipalities and utilities will." He also pointed out the
apparent contradictions inherent in Estonia - GDP per capita of only
EUR6000, post-tax average monthly earnings of EUR400, but 6% of GDP
expended on telecom services and 4% on IT services (indeed Elion's
5Mbps internet/voice/TV product costs EUR30 per month), 90% of consumer
financial transactions are electronic, and the Estonian government no
longer uses paper. He basically made the case that given this
background, in Estonia exclusion from access to the internet genuinely
constitutes social and economic exclusion.
