Information networks are largely in place, and the focus turns now to content.
Finland is a world leader in these areas, and the Finnish government wants to see the country retain its position at the spearhead of further developments. To this end, the Ministry of Education has announced that 45 million FIM will be available for its Contents Provision Project.
