COVID-19 has radically changed the way many people live their day-to-day lives. As more people work, study, and spend time at home, having access to a stable internet connection has never been more important than it is today. While the majority of Canadians have this access, many, especially in rural areas, do not. Today, we’ll talk with two experts on the topic of broadband policy to help us better understand the history of broadband in Canada, the importance of broadband infrastructure, and what still needs to be done to ensure that all Canadians have access to a stable internet connection. Today's guests are Josh Tabish (Canadian Internet Registration Authority) and Dr. Andrew Clement (University of Toronto) This episode was produced by Jessica Pan and Natasha Laponce
