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.

  • FMCC-Submission-TNC-2019-406
    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.
