Sonera is shifting email services from servers located=
in
Sweden for about half a million Finnish customers, the vast maj=
ority
of them private individuals. It hopes to have the move complete=
d by
8 AM Monday morning.
The move has been prompted by the=
Swedish government's proposed law which would allow the Nationa=
l
Defence Radio Establishment to intercept all electronic
communications passing the national border.
Once servic=
es
are relocated to Finland, emails between Finnish clients will n=
ot
cross the border with Sweden and not be subject to possible leg=
al
interception by the Swedish
military.
