New technology is shaping how connectivity will be delivered and new business models are challenging the existing order. To this, we bring our vision of a new telecommunications industry foundationally different from what has come before. We are building a future where the infrastructure delivering broadband to indigenous communities is delivered, maintained, and owned by First Nations’ people. 3.2 billion people globally have access to the Internet. However incredible that may seem it is still fewer than half of the 7 billion-plus people on earth. And while Internet access was once a luxury, it is now becoming essential as the world’s commerce, educational institutions, health care, arts and entertainment all move online. In the last 100 years since the advent of the radio, there has been no technology as transformative as the internet. It has not only fundamentally changed the way we live, work, learn and play but it has been an equalizing force in democratizing the world. Families can stay connected to their loved ones and the world opens to new information and resources for students to study and grow. Click here for more details... Read more...
