Without the appropriate access to information (we all surf but I mean the real stuff), it will be like the towns and villages that got bypassed when the railway came through over a century ago. <br /><br />They shrivelled up and disappeared.<br /><br />Villages on the line grew up to be centres of commerce and prosperity. <br /><br />Of all places The North is too important to Canada for this to be allowed to happen. <br /><br />Heck, I'll even forgo Bell Canada running internet access altogether into my cottage 2 km off the main road if a national program works to distribute reliable high speed access into the remote north.<br /><br />Regards,The Perfect Stormnoreply@blogger.com
