  17. Global Race to Get Competitive Advantage Through Broadband SwedenC$1.24B Goal: Universal broadband access by 2005 Focus on underserved locations & groups (30% pop.) $765M for transport; $480M for municipal nets and tax relief U.S.C$3.35B/year Goal: extend universal service to include advanced services. Multiple federal, state and local programs: e.g., $3.2B/year for statutory E-rate program, 153M/year for Rural Broadband Loan Program pilot project. Nearly 40 bills before Congress to accelerate broadband in rural and underserved areas. France C$2.2B Goal: Universal broadband access by 2005 Focus on underserved, rural locations (20 to 25% of pop.) $300M direct for infrastructure & deployment; $1.9B in government funded loans for infrastructure deployment. U.K. Not yet funded Universal broadband access by 2005 Program announcement anticipated 17

  18. Global Race to Get Competitive Advantage Through Broadband Germany C$1.1B Goal: Leadership in EU Information Society Broadband from ADSL to 8 Mbps Target 2006 Goal: World IT leadership by 2005. “Ultra high speed” goal of 30 Mbps to 30 million homes. $41M seed funding sought 2002; full funding announcement expected shortly. JAPANNot yet funded Korea C$25B (1997-2002) Goal: World IT leadership Broadband by 2002; Total Korea Information Infrastructure investment $47B to 2005. “The information society is and will remain a top priority for the EU.

  24. Should Rural Canada Have the Same Opportunities as Urban Canada? • Economic viability and sustainability in question for many rural and remote communities • Businesses leave • Jobs leave • Youth leave • Needs are greatest where services less available or not available “Without innovative public policy, these technologies could become a source of exclusion, not a tool of progress.” United Nations Development Report, July 2001 24

  25. Government is Committed to Equal Access for ALL Canadians Established National Broadband Task Force Mandate: • the need and characteristics of communities not likely to gain access to high-speed services by 2004 • the technical, institutional and financial barriers which could delay provision of services by the private sector • the roles governments might play in overcoming these barriers Membership: • Leading Canadians from all sectors: • Industry (telcos, cablecos, service providers, content providers) • Public interest • Education and libraries • Health • Aboriginal 25

  26. National Broadband Task Force’s Response www.broadband.gc.ca • Essential that ALL Canadians have access • Make it equitable and affordable • Ensure balanced public-private partnership • Understand it is more than infrastructure that is required (encourage use and content development) • Place highest priority on First Nations, rural and remote • Called for total investment of $4.6B by ALL PARTNERS (federal, provincial, territorial, municipal governments, and private sector) • Community Champion seed funding to all unserved communities ($50 to $70M) • Transport to unserved communities ($1.3B to $1.9B) • Connect public institutions in unserved communities ($500M to $600M) • “Last mile” to homes within unserved communities ($2B) 26

  27. Wide Partnership Required e-health e-content e-learning Broadband Platform e-business e-government 27

  28. Budget 2001 • Continuing Support for Connectedness Agenda • SchoolNet and CAP - $40M per year for two years • $35M/year for the three years to support broadband expansion • $110M to build CA*net 4 – the next generation Internet broadband backbone • $600M over next four years to implement GOL strategy by 2005 • Commitment to vision of broadband connectivity to all communities – timeline extended to 2005 … The Challenge Continues 28

  29. Canada Connecting Canadians Canada’s Innovation Strategy White Paper What does innovation mean? It means: - Coming up with new ideas about how to do things better or faster  - Making a new product or offering a new service  - Putting new ideas to work…and having skilled people to apply them  - Agressively pursuing new markets for Canada ’s products and services

  30. Canada Connecting Canadians Canada’s Innovation Strategy White Paper Communities seen as incubators of innovation But tey have to be part of the globally connected world Broadband connectivity is an enabler of innovation Government will work together to strenghten the capacity of communities to become incubators of innovations Goal: by 2005, ensure that broadband is available to Canadian communities
