My friends at Barrett Xplore have been continuing to advance their business, without government handouts. Their government relations activities have been trying to block the competition from getting a free ride, trying to stop the carriers from using our money to compete against them.
Today, Barrett announced a deal with US-based Wildblue Communications. The deal leverages Wildblue’s network of value added resellers who can sell Xplorenet services in Canada to US-based businesses.
Policy makers: help me understand what we still consider to be unserved territory. Until Barrett runs out of capacity, do we really need to be spending my tax dollars when there is high speed service available?
