With a growing network of wireless Internet access points across a small country with 1.4 million inhabitants, Estonia could be the most "wirelessly wired" country in the world, according to Ivar Tallo, head of the Estonian e-Governance Academy.

The IDG News Service recently met Tallo on the sidelines of a series of round-table discussions in Brussels to mark the re-launch of the European Parliament's Web site. More here
