Serving the unserved: Shaping digital policy to support community broadband with remote First Nations across Canada

Remote and rural Indigenous communities are losing out in the digital economy since they lack affordable, accessible and appropriate Internet. Given the lack of private sector incentives to build, upgrade and maintain digital infrastructure, these populations established their own non-profit broadband providers. This project will collect and mobilize evidence at a major regulatory hearing to highlight their challenges and propose a permanent fund to sustain their work.
