Iceland, where Journalists could run free....




Here is a different slant on connecting and communication laws that could affect people. You can read the full article in the NY Times Business section, B3 - where I got the majority of the article. I found it interesting....

A banking scandal nearly bankrupted the tiny island nation more than a year ago, but Iceland is considering a new vision: to become a haven for journalists and publishers by offering some of the most aggressive protections for free speech and investigative journalism in the world.

The “Icelandic Modern Media Initiative”, would be a single piece of legislation with provisions gathered from around the world.


“Iceland could become an ideal environment for Internet-based international media and publishers to register their services, start-ups, data centers and human rights organizations,” reports Icelands' Web site; which explains the proposal and answers questions about it. “It could be a lever for the economy and create new work employment opportunities.”
