'Free' EU roaming begins – but not for most Finnish mobile customers | #Finland #EUroaming #roaming #EU

Understandable, as we're used to cheap, unlimited data plans here. I'll rather see reduced roaming charges globally than 'free' roaming limited to EU.

'Free' EU roaming begins – but not for most Finnish mobile customers

New EU regulations preventing mobile operators from charging extra roaming charges to their customers came into effect on Thursday. But Finnish communications regulators have granted four Finnish operators the right to continue charging their customers for EU roaming for at least the next year.

Been travelling quite a bit in first half of the year (still going to #London next week for #AnsibleFest - https://www.ansible.com/ansiblefest/london ) so for the summer period I'll probably stay put in #Finland, enjoying the mild weather, long days by the lake, and rock concerts/festivals! \m/ (already saw #Evanescence over the weekend) #finnishsummer

Amanda Lam (founder of #MeeGo and #Jolla community networks in Hong Kong) is in #Finland these couple of weeks, and over the weekend we visited several places that I've not even been to: #Nokia factory island (original Nokia HQ), Nokia church, #Iittala glass museum/outlet, birthplace of #Sibelius etc.

Also learnt that the first Nokia Oy HQ building, built in 1908 in the city of Nokia, is now for sale for 867k€.

On Monday I brought her to the #RedHat Finland office, which is the northernmost Red Hat office.

I am looking for rooms and apartments in #Turku, #Finland. And I would like to hear if you know some good sites to look for rooms or apartments? A lot of agencies I know you have to have a Finnish social security number, Finnish tax card, Finnish working permit and Finnish bank account. I know at http://www.vuokraovi.com/ you they do not have these demands for people, who are looking for rentals, so I would be looking for websites, that do not have all these requirements, all though I will get things done with the requirements, when I arrive to Finland.

Welcome to #tampere #finland! Pics from palatsinraitin silta, patosilta & laukonsilta (silta = bridge). Lots of bridges here coz Tampere is sandwiched between two big lakes with the rapids joining the lakes running through city centre.

Finnish Independence Day – Galas, protests and war memories



Great article by #yle about the history, painful reminders, traditions, and backlash of this day, in addition to the glitz and glamour of #linnanjuhlat

Finnish Independence Day: Galas, protests and war memories

Few Finnish occasions are treated with the pomp and fanfare of the annual Independence Day ball. This year President Sauli Niinistö and his wife Jenni Haukio will host 1,800 guests at the presidential palace to recall the hard-won and highly treasured independence of a small nation caught in the cross-currents of east and west. Successive heads of state have invited guests from all walks of life and from across the country to recognise their contributions to society. Yle looks at the glamour - and also peeks behind the scenes at the grit, the adversity and the eventual triumph over internal divisions.
