I talked a little while ago about how internet access was important to anyone throughout Canada. Well Saturday, the Canadian government announced a $76.7 million in investment to bring broadband access to rural areas.
This is obviously positive but is not enough. The difference between Canada and most other developed countries is population density. Broadband networks are much more expensive to build here compared the gain a telecommunication company might get from it. What we would need is a true plan of development for our network infrastructures. We need it in order to stay competitive in this decade.
