SSi Micro, operator of the Qiniq network that provides internet and mobile phone service to all 25 Nunavut communities, issued that advice last week, warning that from now on, the territory’s satellite telecom services could suöer crippling traõc jams that could hurt all users. That’s because of the large numbers of people who have been told to stay put in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including children and youth who can’t go to school, and workers who have been asked to do their jobs from home. “There’s only so much backbone available.

    Telecom Notice of Consultation CRTC 2019-406 Call for comments regarding potential barriers to the deployment of broadband-capable networks in underserved areas in Canada Reply Comments of the First Mile Connectivity Consortium July 10, 2020 Rob McMahon Coordinator First Mile Connectivity Consortium PO Box 104 Fredericton, NB E3B 4Y2 1-877-737-5638 extension 4522 http://www.firstmile.ca [email protected] 0/35 I. Executive Summary E1. The First Mile Connectivity Consortium (FMCC) is an incorporated independent not-for- profit national association. Our members are First Nations Internet service providers known as “community/regional intermediary organizations” whose work focuses on digital infrastructure and services in rural and remote regions and communities across Canada. E2. FMCC stresses that while the maJor telecommunications companies deliver reliable services to most urban Canadians, it is also important to recognize the essential role that Indigenous and non-profit telecom providers play in rural and remote communities. The regions in which they operate have always represented a challenging business case – there is little profit to be made by commercial telecommunications companies in small remote and rural communities. E3. This submission responds to points raised by other parties in this proceeding regarding topics raised by the Commission in its notice, then additional barriers, and finally more general issues. We submit proposed questions for the Commission to consider in its Requests for Information to parties. We also include a copy of an FMCC Document titled “Broadband Fund Overview Document (FAQ for Community Engagement)”. Bandwidth, Reliability, Redundancy: The Lessons of Covid-19 E4. Since the Commission initiated this proceeding, Canada has experienced the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

  • The K-Net Broadband Governance Model: Intersecting Views from Government, Community, and Industry
    The Kuh-Ke-Nah broadband governance model: How social enterprise shaped internet services to accommodate indigenous community ownership in Northwestern Ontario, Canada (circa 1997 to 2007) by Adam Paul Fiser A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto© Copyright by Adam Paul Fiser 2010 The Kuh-Ke-Nah broadband governance model Adam Paul Fiser Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2010 Abstract This thesis articulates how the Kuh-Ke-Nah network (K-Net) shaped broadband development in remote indigenous communities. K-Net operates under the not-for-profit stewardship of Keewaytinook Okimanak (KO) Tribal Council. Located in Northwestern Ontario, KO brought K-Net to life amongst its six member First Nations in the mid 1990s. As K-Net evolved and expanded its membership, KO established a governance model that devolves network ownership and control to community networks in partner First Nations. This governance model reflects KO’s use of social enterprise to organize K-Net’s community-based broadband deployment amidst necessary partnerships with government programs and industry players. K-Net’s social enterprise has rapidly grown since 1997, when its core constituents fought for basic telephone service and internet access in Northern Ontario. In the space of less than a decade, K-Net communities have gone from a situation in which it was common for there to be but a single public payphone in a settlement, to a point where over thirty now have broadband internet services to households. Technologies now under K-Net control include a C-Band satellite transponder, IP videoconferencing and telephony, web and email server space, and a variety of terrestrial and wireless links that effectively connect small, scattered First Nations communities to each other and the wider world.
