The IEEE Spectrum has an article about why Finland is the mobile data capital of the world. Many factors converge. Perhaps the most relvant one is that mobile data plans cover unlimited use and the different operators compete on speed rather than data caps. Also, despite sparse population distribution, very close to 100% of the population has good access to high-speed mobile networks. If plans are followed through, 5G coverage should become commercially available in Finland by 2020.

    That may have been true in the early 90s, but changed with the foreign invasion. Stuff like modern trashy MTv.

    They're so boring and bored that they have unusual competitions like:
    wife-carrying
    mobile phone throwing
    swamp soccer
    hobby horse show jumping
    air guitar playing
