Industry Canada Connectivity Funding
Posted on | September 3, 2009 | No Comments
How timely … just when rural connectivity was on my mind, the federal government announces a call-for-applications for their Broadband Canada: Connecting Rural Canadians program.
This program is looking for applications that will provide service to as many unserved and underserved Canadians as possible, allowing them to more fully participate in the digital economy by encouraging access to information, services, and opportunities that would otherwise be out-of-reach.
Potential applicants have until October 23, 2009 to submit proposals to extend service to geographic service areas that were identified as part of an extensive mapping process that took place earlier this summer.
Successful proposals are expected to be announced in late 2009 to early 2010, with project builds starting as soon as possible in 2010.
More information about this program is available on the Broadband Canada: Connecting Rural Canadians website.
