#1 Sweden
Just how wired is Sweden? It's so wired, that its Internet pirates have their own political party - that's how wired. Sweden topped this year's global Connectivity Scorecard, and is a world leader in fourth-generation (4G) mobile network development. Innovations aside, Sweden is consistently among world leaders in broadband penetration and affordability, making Internet access generally fast and feasible for most Swedes. But Sweden may soon have some local competition in connectivity, as just this month neighboring Finland declared broadband internet access a legal right for all of its citizens.
