• Finland becomes the first country to make broadband a legal right

Finland is set to become the first country in the world to make broadband Internet a legal right, according to their Ministry of Transport and Communications. In July 2010, all Finland residents will have access to a one-megabit broadband connection, which is a first step towards a goal for the end of 2015- which will enable all Finns to have a one hundred megabit broadband connection.

• Laptop for every pupil in Uruguay

Uruguay has become the first country to provide a laptop for every child attending state primary school.

The Uruguay programme has cost the state $260 (£159) per child, including maintenance costs, equipment repairs, training for the teachers and internet connection.

The total figure represents less than 5% of the country’s education budget.
