Broadband Connectivity

Feb 9, 2020 | Debbie in the Community | 0 comments

On Feb. 10 Council there is report providing an update about progress on improving broadband connectivity and access throughout King.  As reviewed there has been significant improvement for many people; the report reviews the government jurisdictions and the public businesses who have delivered reliabale low cost broadband in last several years.    But there are still those who do not have service levels meeting CRTC goals.  Federal Government has a Broadband Fund with goal of responding to the latter; unfortunately indications are that these funds will be prioritized to remote and northerly communities.  New funds may be available through the Provincial Government’s “Up to speed: Ontario’s Broadband and cellular action plan;” to date details have not been released.  Township Staff are very attentive to identify opportunities for closing the broadband gap in King.
