KORI produces C-Band Satellite Public Benefit impact report

The Keewaytinook Okimakanak Research Institute completed a report for Industry Canada's National Satellite Initiative (NSI) detailing the impacts of the use of the Public Benefit allocation provided to the Kuhkenah Network (K-Net) and its partner communities. The report details the use of this satellite bandwidth since this resource was first made available early in 2002. It provides a snapshot about the development process, the community and regional engagement work, the management of the C-Band Public Benefit resource and the many impacts on the satellite-served communities that were able to utilize this resource. With Industry Canada's National Satellite Initiative along with FedNor's local infrastructure development dollars, ten remote First Nations in Northern Ontario now are able to access broadband applications and services.
