Fiber in the Frost: How Finland Connects Its Remote Corners
Update: 2025-07-03
Description
In this episode of TP:Talks, we head north—way north—to Finland, where rural fiber is rolling out across forests, rocks, and frozen ground. Our guest is Eetu Pekola, CEO of PyhäNet and vice president of the Finnish Regional Network Association. Eetu shares how his small municipal network connects homes in some of Europe’s most remote areas, why fiber still beats fixed wireless, and how a “chainsaw for the soil” helps cut costs. From government grants to population decline, this is a fascinating glimpse into a broadband market that’s both wildly different and surprisingly familiar. Tune in and warm up!
