Eastern Ontario Business Journal Podcast discusses rural high-speed Internet
High-speed internet access? Doesn\u2019t everyone have that? Well, not if you live in some of the more rural or remote regions of our province. This edition of the Eastern Ontario Business Journal Podcast takes a look at the sometimes thorny issue of connectivity with guests Jim Pine from the Eastern Ontario Regional Network; Joe Hickey, CEO of Rock Networks; and Richard Allen on behalf of Frontenac County. \n\nThe discussion examines what governments of all stripes are doing \u2014 or should be doing \u2014 to improve rural internet access in Eastern Ontario, what some of the challenges are in getting powerful internet connections out to the countryside, and how the pandemic has changed that conversation in the past two years.
