2015
In British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors (BASCA) and others v Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, the High Court of Justice in matter of private copy exception provides the twofold prime opportunity to shed light on the state of the art of copyright in the UK and to flesh out the idea of 'legal hysteresis’. I support the reintroduction of the private copy exception, possibly in a less narrow fashion, and I explain the reasons why I am confident that my expectations will be fulfilled.
Does strategy matter? A comparison of broadband rollout policies in Finland and Sweden
2008
This study investigates broadband policies applied in Finland and Sweden with special reference to the geographical coverage of the required network infrastructure.

Mobilities in Finland's Information Society Strategies from 1995 to 2010
2012
Abstract The article explores Finland’s national information society strategies and uses the Finnish case as an example to identify the limitation of the so-called ‘methodological nationalism’ and to explicate the advantages of the mobility paradigm.

The study also shows that most mobility-related challenges require international cooperation and multinational solutions, although state-centred thinking was preva…

Challenges of the Information Society to Entrepreneurial and Technology Education in the Finnish Comprehensive School
2004
Even if the concept Information Society has versatile menings for its details, there is an approximate agreement about its general essence. There is an understanding e.g. about its emphasis on utilizing the computers, software and networks diversified and about the participatory, self originated activity culture of the citizens.
