The CRTC has selected projects to receive funding through its Broadband Fund.
The CRTC is committing over $17 million to telecommunication service providers: Minto Communications Society, County of Forty Mile No. 8, Vianet, MCSnet, and Missing Link Internet Inc., to build approximately 330 kilometres of new transport fibre infrastructure. These projects will connect 18 rural communities in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario to high-speed Internet. They will also support future projects to connect businesses and over 2,200 households.
The CRTC continues to assess applications and will make more funding announcements in the coming months.
