The policy will be active in July 2010, when every Finn will get a one-megabit connection. But that's just an intermediate step towards their final goal: By 2015, everyone will have a 100Mbps—yes, a hundred megabits per second—available.
Now, before the political debate starts in the comments, please watch this.

DISCUSSION
So what if it comes out of their taxes. Americans pay taxes too and where the hell does that money go to? I still pay healthcare, I still have to pay a crap load for college, no public transportation,etc. At least they see the benefits everyday when they pay taxes.
