For a few years now, I have been calling for Canada to develop a national digital strategy. Others have independently echoed the call and many other countries have moved faster toward examination of the broad range of issues to be considered as economies evolve to prosper in a digital era.
The CRTC’s recent report “Navigating Convergence” has a section on National Digital Strategy. The report observes:
A world-leading broadband network infrastructure is not an end in itself. The “pipes” are only useful inasmuch they are used to deliver services, applications and content to Canadians.
The 2010 Canadian Telecom Summit will have special sessions on Tuesday, June 8 that look at International Perspectives on ICT Strategies, followed by a session looking at Building Digital Canada. Early Bird rates for The Canadian Telecom Summit are available until the end of February.
