I have a quote in this morning’s Globe and Mail that isn’t quite what I recall saying – or at least isn’t what I meant to say.
The article is reporting about the yesterday’s release of the CRTC’s telecom industry monitoring report.
There is a quote:
Mark Goldberg of telecom consulting firm Mark H. Goldberg and Associates Inc. said the challenge for the industry is to continue investing in networks that will increase the use of high-speed Internet among consumers.
“One of the things we’ll be watching is how they are able to invest in technology that allows them to continue the speed evolution of Internet service,” he said.
The CRTC monitoring report shows that 60% of households in Canada have broadband connections – best in the G8 – and this represents more than 80% of the households that have computers. 93% of the population has access to either cable-based or DSL-based broadband and 87% have a choice.
So Canada’s access to broadband is doing OK.
I meant to say “We’ll want to watch how Canadian carriers will continue to increase the speeds being delivered.”
