Another reason to be in Finland

Super-speed broadband could arrive as early as '06

It makes you wonder why Finland seems to be the place where a lot of innovations happen (IRC, fast "last mile" connections to every house, Linux among others), but the US seems to be getting more press as the center of innovation.

And why Singapore probably won't be there any time soon. Sure, we may have cable to nearly every home, but the outgoing connections are still limited and routed weirdly - why does my route to an Australian server go through Japan? and a connection to the Middle East goes through the US.

That does seem a bit strange. I don't know any of the answers though. I don't understand the way the world of technology works very much at all, in fact. ^_^;
