Project to implement the Eeyou Istchee Broadband Communications Network (ECN) : case study.: Iu90-4/31-2015E-PDF

In 2009-2010, Canada Economic Development for the Regions of Quebec (CED) provided funding for the Project to Implement the Eeyou Communications Network (ECN) by means of a non-repayable contribution of $9.6 million for construction and commissioning of a broadband telecommunications network. The overall purpose of the project was to enable the project proponent to offer secure and reliable connectivity services (voice, data and video) in the Nord-du-Québec region. Since the project had not achieved the maturity needed to measure socio-economic spin-off at the time of writing this case study (2014), this study will focus on three issues: how effectively the project was implemented; the usefulness of the project to the region, its enterprises and its organizations, and attainment of the expected immediate outcomes. The project’s socio-economic spin-off can be documented later. The methodology combines a review of the literature, analysis of performance data and interviews.
