Changes in Spain and Finland
It was interesting to read about some changes in both Finland and Spain that will guarantee some basic broadband services to residents of the two countries, making broadband a right of people in those two places. Very cool, and very much a sign of the times, isn't it?Makes you wonder when the rest will catch up. The US is, of course, lagging behind in this area.

We were going on a big holiday that would spread across 3 weeks, driving from Texas to California. It was a tedious process for my parents to do the planning, but we had a great time when all was said and done. Finding rentals in Arizona is so much easier today.
