The digital divide is keeping billions from Canadaās economy
Policies have made the digital divide in Canada worse, leaving far too many communities without reliable connectivity. Now, Canada is getting set for the next wave of 5G policy decisions.
Fortunately, wireless policies that maximize 5G innovation and connectivity are on the table right now.
The right policies can supercharge 5G innovation, creating better access to education and healthcare, and connect rural and Indigenous communities to the bustling digital economy. They could also add $40B to Canadaās GDP by 2040.
It's time to take action - add your support for 5G innovation.
