I had the opportunity to be a part of a Broadband Symposium in Haida Gwaii in Nov 07. It was organized by Art Lew of the Community Futures there. It was a great opportunity to hear from a large group of experts about the opportunities and challenges for communities that have high speed Internet. Haida Gwaii is just in the process of being hooked up, courtesy of TELUS, the BC Gov’t and GwaiiTel, a local not-for-profit group that is working to connect the last mile.
Here’s some of the presentations, including mine.
- Phillip Djwa – The Future of Work (880KB)
- Jamie Sterritt – Enhancing Community Vitality through ICT
- Chris Bywater – Developing and Expanding your eBusiness
- Terry McAloney – High-Speed Internet on Haida Gwaii
