Access to Broadband for All Canadians

Consumers Council of Canada favours:

1. Access to broadband at minimum speeds and acceptable quality at affordable rates for all Canadians.
2. Subsidies for low-income Canadians for broadband connections.
3. Market delivery of broadband with the realization that the market cannot, alone, deliver sufficient connectivity without incentives and other assistance from government.
4. Where the market cannot deliver broadband service even with government assistance, more direct government involvement will be required.
5. “Net neutrality” to ensure the benefits of open, accessible Internet architecture to all Canadians.
