kaikkivoipaisuus

Kaikkivoipaisuus is a Finnish concept that refers to the idea that all individuals should have access to a phone, regardless of their financial situation. The concept is built upon the idea of universality and equality, aiming to make phone ownership a basic right similar to access to healthcare and education.

The idea of kaikkivoipaisuus gained traction in Finland in the early 2000s, particularly among politicians and social organizations. At the time,.mobile phone market was booming, and many Finns were finding it increasingly difficult to afford the costs associated with owning a phone, such as purchasing the device, paying for calls, and maintaining a contract.

The proponents of kaikkivoipaisuus argued that having a phone is essential in today's society, where access to information and communication is crucial. Without a phone, individuals may struggle to access basic services, participate in the workforce, and maintain relationships. Furthermore, the kaikkivoipaisuus advocates pointed out that the costs associated with buying and maintaining a phone can be significant, especially for low-income families.

While kaikkivoipaisuus never became an official government policy, the idea has had an impact on Finnish mobile phone market. Many Finnish mobile carriers began offering low-cost or even free phone options, as well as affordable calling and data plans. As a result, mobile phone penetration in Finland has increased significantly, and mobile phones have become an essential part of daily life in the country.
