Spanish citizens will have a legal right from 2011 to be able to buy broadband internet of at least one megabyte per second at a regulated price wherever they live, the country’s industry minister said recently.

The telecoms operator holding the so-called “universal service” contract would have to guarantee it could offer “reasonably” priced broadband throughout Spain

The service also subsidizes telecoms to disabled users.

The EU took a big step recently and approved a measure to ensure “internet freedom” would remain and that individuals would not have their internet cutoff unjustly.

The passage still allows for countries to adopt a three strike policy but “must presume innocence, guard privacy, and allow for judicial appeal”. This differs from previous policies that gave EU governments the full ability to cut off ones internet with little chance for appeal.
