High-Speed Internet Access For Remote Canadian Communities

NC)-We are in the information age dominated by the on-demand knowledge society. Canada is one of the most connected country in the world and the Internet has become so central to our lives that many people can not do their jobs or stay in touch without it.

In short, the world at this time demanding high-speed Internet access.

But what if you are among the more than 7.5 million in Canada's rural and remote communities that do not have cable or DSL high-speed broadband access? Typically, the areas in the country have been underserved by the fact that the simple economics of land-based system will never justify the mass Deployment.


Fortunately, there is a solution for many people this far - a high-speed satellite Internet service offered by Bell ExpressVu's DirecPC. Basically, the system uses the same Bell ExpressVu satellite dish as the Bell ExpressVu TV services, but working independently from the recipient to provide satellite data to your computer.

In the case of each day, which means users can download the audio file 4MB in 60-70 seconds compared with more than 19 minutes using a 56K modem. 1MB or download the video file in a little over 16 seconds compared with almost 5 minutes with a 56K modem use.


This is the broadband Internet access service, which is always available, and to anyone, anywhere in Canada with local phone lines and Internet Service Provider.


The high-speed Internet service has become mandatory. According to the Canadian National Broadband Task Force, most of Canada will need a high-speed Internet access to use the new online service from the government and the business that put information and products on a secure website. All aspects of our society is being altered by the availability of internet to the point that e-business and e-learning is regarded by many as crucial for the development of our economy.
