L’accès au haut débit dans les zones rurales est coûteux, qu’il soit fixe ou mobile. La faible densité de population et l'éloignement rend un retour sur l’investissement positif pour les fournisseurs difficile, voire impossible, à atteindre. Des subventions sont disponibles pour aider les fournisseurs de large bande à offrir leurs services à un prix abordable [...]
Broadband access in rural areas is costly whether it is fixed or mobile. The low population density often coupled with remoteness make a positive return on investment for providers difficult, if not impossible, to achieve. Subsidies are available to help broadband providers bring their services at an affordable price for those living in rural areas, [...]
The Canadian telecom industry has been (im)patiently waiting for ISED - the Industry, Science and Economic Development Ministry - to make public key decisions that will shape the deployment of 5G services, and possibly of competition, in Canada for many years to come. Following on the heals of the recently completed 600 MHz auction, it [...]
Implementation of 5G services will require a trifecta of spectrum bands: low band (below 1 GHz) for coverage particularly in rural areas, mid band (typically 2-6 GHz) for capacity with reasonable coverage, and high bands (mmWave, typically above 24 GHz) for high capacity but with limited range. Worldwide auction activity is starting to reveal [...]

The FCC has adopted new rules that are designed to reduce mobile operators’ costs when deploying small cells. The Commission believes the rule changes could save mobile operators $2 billion in red-tape, which could stimulate another $2.5 billion of additional buildouts. These reforms, approved at the FCC’s September Open Meeting, are part of US policy makers’ [...]
