Romania: has the cheapest and fastest internet connection in Europe
Also Romania:
So wait, is the teal bar people who can’t afford a cell phone as the title implies, or is it “people at risk of poverty” as the graph states?
In Slovakia poor families(mostly Romani) got tablets/laptops from state. This was kinda weird and useless, since many of these families have no internet connection or even electricity at home. Most of these tablets/laptops ended up in pawn shops.
Romani also often cut electricity cables, so they can sell copper. Recently there was a story where they dug up 10 km long cable.
Btw all 4 countries at top have large Romani population.
I still keep looking at these graphs for the UK and then think “Oh Yeah Brexit”.
Internet should be a right
It is “free” in many places, and you have a very difficult time in Denmark without access to Internet. Everything is online, or requires you to verify online your identity.

“Finland has become the first country in the world to make broadband a legal right for every citizen.”
I’d say it’s pretty good overall
