The frozen North is redhot

I think I'm just going to turn this blog over to my readers, who are sending me some sterling stuff. Keep it up folks!

One mega-value reader alerts me to a survey in Norwegian paper Aftenposten, showing that half of Norwegian households currently have broadband, and most of the rest plan to migrate to broadband in the next 12 months. My reader also observes that, being election year in Norway, one opposition political party is calling for 6Mbps minimum to every home, as a matter of national policy, another good example of the politicization of broadband. Is it a product, or a public good?
