Guaranteeing broadband access

Although this news is already hot in air I could not resist to post it again. According to reports Finland is the first country to make broadband access a legal right.
Starting next July, every person in Finland will have the right to a one-megabit broadband connection, says the Ministry of Transport and Communications. Finland is the world’s first country to create laws guaranteeing broadband access.
The government had already decided to make a 100 Mb broadband connection a legal right by the end of 2015. On Wednesday, the Ministry announced the new goal as an intermediary step.

Can we expect something like this from John Key administration? Seriously speaking current broadband infrastructure in New Zealand really sucks, may be pigeon can be faster than broadband.
