Broadband connectivity in rural Canada : overcoming the digital divide / Dan Ruimy, chair. : XC39-1/1-421-11E-PDF

"Broadband Internet benefits rural and remote communities by bringing them, among other things, education resources, better health services and more economic opportunities. In 2016, acknowledging its importance, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) declared that broadband Internet amounted to an essential service and adopted minimal performance standards across Canada: 50 megabit per second download and 10 megabit per second upload. The CRTC currently collaborates with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) to fund broadband deployment in rural and remote areas.
