There are several possible explanations for the diversity in fast broadband access on the municipal level. Some areas, such as Utsjoki (98% access to 30 Mbts broadband) in the north, and Valtimo and Rautavaara in the eastern part of Finland, that have deliberately championed fast broadband access, have attained their goals through participation in the national broadband strategy and the state aid that was associated with it. Moreover, given that the Finnish municipal system is constructed around strong, rather autonomous municipalities, another explanatory factor for the high percentage of fast broadband access relates specifically to individual municipal attractiveness.
