I don't know if all the words in this list qualify. Some of them exist in other languages as specific words as well. For example: Fremdschämen To be embarrassed by something somebo…

"Free" if you pay for the 499€ service tier.

0% tax on retained earnings.

So don't put in the money as share capital.

Finland has unlimited (without the quotation marks) data on prepaid SIMs from all carriers. Usually for about 1€ per day or 20€ per month. Depending on the plan it will also includ…

Scans do not need to be crazy expensive. In Finland, unsubsidized, undiscounted and no questions asked, just pay prices for scans from a private health company are 258€. Expensive,…

That sounds miserable. Give me a good cold winter with snow rather than a miserable non-winter that is damp, wet and slushy. Dry cold is far better than than damp thaw weather.

Both Sweden and Finland have hotels in the capital city center which are former prisons. According to reviews they are well regarded.

> We have a program that grants a short (4 week) sabbatical every 5 years. You can add an additional 2 weeks of PTO to get to a 6 week break. That's not a sabbatical, that's a norm…

Why always the focus on free Wifi? Germany, like most of Europe, has good 3G/4G coverage. Rates are reasonable, so you can provide your own connectivity. Far more cheaper than rent…

> That's something which is easy to change if there was a will You don't really believe that, now do you? Clearing the usage of new frequency bands is a huge regulatory undertaking…

> Again that is easy to say but it is meaningless unless there are quantifiable metrics by which you can prove that. Consumer prices. Geographical coverage. Unlimited and unrestric…

> EDIT: You can count Ukko out completely they do not provide voice at all not to mention that paying 85 Euros on a 12 month contract for 3-10 Mbit/s without a device is laughable …

Yes.

> Don't know about Ukko or what they cover, can't even figure out if they are an MVNO or not their wikipedia entry says that they operate LTE 31 which makes them sound like a rural…

> Clearly there are some other forces driving cellular communication in Finland other than only having 3 carriers. The difference is that Finland has effective competition, whereas…

You are sorely mistaken with regards to Finland. Regulation in Finland defines what broadband speeds are acceptable. This includes mobile broadband. Acceptable speeds are a minimum…

> Sonara is Telia, didn't knew about DNA I know that some of the islands and the more remote areas have had setup coop telephone/internet companies but overall there isn't much "co…

Core networks do not use QoS or congestion control in the traditional sense, as they are designed to be run without congestion in normal circumstances and because QoS is too expens…

I feel I missed something. How is the government extorting the telcos? The telcos are of course under no obligation to invest in 5G. Do you know of any 4G provider that isn't?

Yes, either via an enterprise certificate or via a free developer account. Especially in China they are big on sideloading via enterprise certificates :) Yes, I know it's not ideal…

> That was literally the premise of the thread. No it wasn't. The thread starter discussed how broadband connections should be marketed, and the suggestion was to use guaranteed ba…

I made no promises of either free or low.

> I didn't write that comment, but in my opinion net neutrality is mostly a solution in search of a problem. Net neutrality is (partial) remedy for lack of competition. Cure that a…

It's a well known fact that certain ISPs in France will not peer with YouTube and thus their connections are congested. This is not a technical problem, but a business decision. Th…
