October 09, 2003Canadian government invests in rural connectivityHere is why I love being a Canadian. The Government of Canada announced a strategic initiative through which they plan to extend broadband Internet connectivity to the nation's most remote communities via satellite. We are one of the best wired nations because we would rather build infrastructure and build the foundation of knowledge for our children so we can grow as a better nation, rather than spend billions of dollars meddling in other countries affairs. I am impressed on how the government intends to utilize this new connectivity. As an example, in rural communities where it might take days to get health care due to distance, doctors/nurses can perform some consultations with videoconferencing equipment quickly. In some cases, the doctors could even be in Toronto, Vancouver or even over seas. Thats just kewl! I am proud to be Canadian, as I always am. But things like this make be glow inside. What a great country to live in. Posted by SilverStr at October 9, 2003 09:04 AM | TrackBack |
