KO team working with FedNor to establish broadband connections in First Nations

Keewaytinook Okimakanak's Kuhkenah Network (K-Net - http://knet.ca) is working with Industry Canada's FedNorĀ and the First Nations SchoolNet programs and Health Canada to identify strategies to ensure broadband connectivity is available in every First Nation with a school or a health centre. This past week a number of First Nations along the highway 11 corridor were visited to identify contacts and building locations. A meeting on Friday with Northern Tel representatives resulted in some additional information concerning completing some of these broadband connections.
