Re: why do they set such goals like that? said by 53059959:
I mean I have faith, i'd really like to see expanding broadband like that, but it's very unlikely that they will connect all canadian communities, or just the ones on their list-by 2005. I'm wondering why they do that? Don't they not know that they probably won't meet that goal? Or do they just like set goals that they can't reach? I mean yea, it certainly helps to get government funding by telling them your going to do this and that, but I'd rather see someone set and meet a realistic goal for once. dunno, just kinda interesting seeing yet another planned rollout with a date so soon.
I'm thinking that in fine print, they have a size definition of what a "community" is. Obviously, if you live out in the middle of nowhere, with like 3 neighbors, they're not gonna build a DSLAM there. But, then again, if you think about it, all you need is a small data line, a wireless transmitter, and WHAM, those three houses have access. It's not such a pipe dream after all, especially if funds are available to get that kind of thing going.
