The upcoming spectrum sale also should include commitments to First
Nations, which often lack adequate Internet service. In 2009, 41 per cent
of 978 permanently occupied First Nations and Inuit communities were
without broadband infrastructure capable of supporting inbound rates of 256
Kbps or higher. Yet high-speed Internet connectivity is important for
clinical tele-health, distance education and numerous other public and
community services.
