Canada's telecoms regulator is launching an investigation into the use of satellites to provide telecoms services in northern and remote communities in Canada.
In a previous report last year, the CRTC identified a digital divide between communities that receive these services over terrestrial facilities and those that are served solely by satellite.
This inquiry will examine the impact reliance on satellites have on the quality of the services and on the costs to service providers to offer telecommunications services to these communities.
Some of the issues that will be considered in this inquiry include: the current and future availability of satellite capacity needed for transport services, pricing of satellite services, and the competitive options available to telecommunications service providers that rely on such technologies to provide telecommunications services to Canadians.
