Tietoviikko reports that Finland (my home country) is the world’s best IT country according to World Economic Forum study The Global Information Technology Report 2013. According to the study, Finland is the world’s number one country when it comes to the economy’s ability to use information technology to competitiveness and prosperity. Finland has toppled Sweden from the top spot in a ranking of economies that are best placed to benefit from new information and communication technologies (ICTs). The question still remains how this result was got because there are many things in Finland ICT that are are far from very good, so are other countries just much lousier on those aspects?
At the core of the report, the Networked Readiness Index (NRI) measures the preparedness of an economy to use ICT to boost competitiveness and well-being. In this edition, Finland (1st), Singapore (2nd) and Sweden (3rd) continue to lead the NRI, with the Netherlands (4th), Norway (5th), Switzerland (6th), the United Kingdom (7th), Denmark (8th), the United States (9th) and Taiwan, China (10th) completing the top 10.
Global Information Technology Report 2013 has a nice map that visualizes the network readiness of different countries.

“The state of IT project of 120 million euros of hot air”
Economic messages in an interview with the information source, the Ministry of Finance, led by the national IT project is roughly 120 million euro put a hollow shell. .
Service Bus is part of the Ministry of Finance led by a national service architecture project, which is estimated to cost up to EUR 120 million. It is designed to promote interoperability between different information systems.
The official preparing the full project life-cycle cost was estimated at no more than a few tens of million, but the project leaders eventually drove through a € 120 million budget.
120 million potential consists of the sum of the national bus service in addition to e-authentication and authorization service creation. The state is also prepared to financially support public sector organizations to the service bus.
entire project is presently focused on the “hot air”, even if the first service is scheduled to be available next year. During the period 2018-2022 the service bus is designed to produce as much benefits to cover all the costs.
- What are the benefits? What does this do? No one knows.

Hundred megabit broadband will definitely be delayed
The Government’s aim to get all the Finns to 100 Mbit / s broadband circuit end of next year is not implemented, evaluated Communications Regulatory Authority. Delays in the government and accused of money, labor and lack of interest.
- You can be sure that happen as planned in time, says project manager Seppo Kuusisto from TeliaSonera
Operator’s representative says that there is no possibility that the end of next year, every Finn would be able to hundred megabit broadband.
The same will also assess the Communications Regulatory Authority, which has overseen the grant to build a high-speed Internet connections in sparsely populated areas.
- Very likely target will not be reached, says the market segment Deputy Director Petri Makkonen Communications Regulatory Authority.
According to Makkonen, a national broadband project delays due to, for example, local and regional authorities from the local activity – or lack thereof. There are differences between the provinces
- Fiber construction in sparsely populated areas is extremely expensive. However, if it is supported, then it is still expensive.

A resident of talking by mobile phone outdoors from strong wind and cold weather is a common sight in the center of Helsinki on the other edge of the fishing harbor in new houses. A few kilometers from the Finnish city center mobile phone network does not work inside the house at all, or it is very weak.
Low-energy houses have become a communication problem.
Radio waves capabilities to penetrate the concrete is low, but traditionally the waves have come through the windows of homes. New energy saving glass windows of the houses have a surfaces of a metal membrane that blocks most of the the entrance of radio waves though windows.
Residents’ anger in addition to causing poor reception telephone operators and the cost of housing companies. The most expensive would be to solve the problem simply by building more base stations.
Operators are throwing the ball to the designers of houses and housing companies. Keeping the radio waves in when designing and building the house would be lower cost than building new areas full of base stations.

TV programs recording to network agreement coming in Finland: mandatory condition of commercials, and a new time limit for payment
Collecting societies, broadcasters and operators are approaching reconciliation recording TV programs online service. The agreement will bring network recordings a holding deadline and advertising, over which is not able to wind the. Also, storage services, rates may go up.
The proposal still requires a practical implementation of the reform of the Copyright Act, as well as a series of negotiations between operators. For example, the technical solutions to be negotiated. The proposed reforms are unlikely to come into effect in the spring.
Under the proposal, the recordings would be temporary, and the operators of online services stored in the TV programs will remain no more than two years.
It is proposed that web services stored in the TV programs should have ads that user would not be able to rewind.
- Advertisements could be, for example, at the beginning of the recording, such as the TV channels in their respective online services
- Ads saved on recording are quickly out of date. The idea is that there could sell the current ads
Recording Network providers should continue to be paid to collecting societies, or a license fee tariff. Payment will include all the network storage required by the copyright sections of receipt of the program, the work piece preparation and transmission to the public.
- The license conditions are the same style as the TV program still sending, Rislakki says.
Arjanne does not know how to say, does the new charge affect to the storage cost of the service to customers.

The 2014 World Press Freedom Index spotlights the negative impact of conflicts on freedom of information and its protagonists. The ranking of some countries has also been affected by a tendency to interpret national security needs in an overly broad and abusive manner to the detriment of the right to inform and be informed. This trend constitutes a growing threat worldwide and is even endangering freedom of information in countries regarded as democracies. Finland tops the index for the fourth year running, closely followed by Netherlands and Norway, like last year.

Professors are wondering Avenues of Service “show tzar-time dictating”
Built in Finland, the national bus service, which should be ready in ten years. National Service Bus is a communication solution that would streamline the critically-government. This applies both to transactions between the authorities as citizens and business transactions with the authorities.
If the project is successful, the use of this system in ten years every Finnish individuals and the organization.
The Ministry of Finance promoted by the national bus service is run for the Tsar-term dictates, and projects the reasons remain unclear. This claim information sciences, Professor Reima Finland and Political Science Professor Matti Wiberg
“Just by the service bus architecture of the project plan is a hefty, about one hundred pages long package, but it leaves a lot to be desired. In particular, the project’s arguments fail to sustain the rest of the technical design level. ”
The service bus concept has been copied form Estonia that basically makes sense but the question is that is it flexible enough for Finland.
The plan does not exist the word the word bus service business model or revenue model. The price tag for the project seems to be inadequate strongly – the cost is estimated at EUR 120 million.
It was said that the net “for the overall sustainability gap” is estimated at 500 million euros, but no calculations details were given to which this is based on.
National service bus concept brings to mind VIRVE Public Authority, except that the national bus service is now clearly recognized as a user in the private sector.
You can not help but think that these special networks are built primarily because of the small number of specialist suppliers and equipment manufacturers should be a good market.
Finland’s national bus service will be built in Estonia X-road concept upon. Finished copying concepts can be a reasonable and cost-effective, but still an example of Estonia copy without further ado is dubious.
National bus service is still without justification. Is unclear what the benefits to, and to whom they fall.
The process is wishful thinking more than enough.
