Policy Analyst for the Broadband Fund at the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). Whether you’re at home, at work, or on the road, your phone should be able to connect using LTE and you should have access to broadband speeds of at least 50 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload. To close the remote/rural and urban digital divide and in order to meet this objective, existing infrastructure across Canada needs to be upgraded and new infrastructure needs to be built. This will require a great deal of time and money and a collective effort from all levels of government and the industry. The CRTC has established a $750 million Fund to help provide all Canadians with access to broadband Internet and mobile wireless services: the Broadband Fund.
