\"Barrett<\/a>When you think of Ottawa, you think of Parliament Hill, museums, high tech research parks.<\/p>\n

Some readers may not realize that significant parts of the city of Ottawa do not have access to broadband internet service. As a result, Ottawa issued an RFP to find a service provider that would provide universal coverage to the unserved areas.<\/p>\n

Today, Barrett Xplore was approved<\/a> as the preferred private-sector partner to complete rural broadband coverage in Ottawa.<\/p>\n

While many of us in urban regions take broadband availability for granted, lower population density creates a challenge in terms of broadband delivery to rural Canada and a gap for the delivery of public services. John Maduri, CEO of Barrett Xplore says: <\/p>\n

Our wireless and satellite technologies bridge that gap, and offer rural broadband that\u2019s fast, affordable and reliable. Getting broadband everywhere in Canada is no longer limited by technology. The City of Ottawa\u2019s thorough and extensive tender process confirmed that Barrett is the best fit for rural broadband delivery.<\/p>\n

<\/span>… <\/span>Sustainable, rural broadband is here, now. There literally isn’t a single square inch of Canada where we can’t provide broadband.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I act as an advisor to Barrett Xplore. Its approach brings important options for internet access to Canadians. Proof that broadband service delivery is hardly the exclusive domain of telcos and cablecos.<\/p>\n

Following up on last week’s provincial budget, as Ontario moves to extend broadband into rural and northern communities, we’ll be watching for continued fixed wireless and satellite deployment and further expansion from Barrett Xplore.<\/p>\n
