QUISPAMSIS, NB – The Canadian Cable Systems Alliance (CCSA) is praising a promise by Prime Minister Harper that a Conservative government would provide a further $200 million to support major new investments in fibre broadband infrastructure in rural and remote communities lacking high-speed Internet.
“Canadians should all have equal access to broadband communications services at a fair price, regardless of where they live,” said CCSA president and CEO Alyson Townsend, in a statement. “Our members applaud the Prime Minister’s commitment to support broadband infrastructure and we encourage the other leaders to make the same commitment to fair access for all Canadians”.
Townsend added that the CCSA is looking to the other federal parties "to hear their plans to ensure more consumer choice, more competition and better access to vital communications services like high-speed internet, cable TV and mobile phone service in low population density regions".
