In reality the system we have right now has physical limits, and putting that infrastructure in place is a bigger job in our country than it is in smaller and more densely-populated areas.
That sounds like Canada versus Japan. And quite a few cities in Japan were levelled by 1945. What's our excuse?
But there are developed countries with lower population densities than Canada, have similar challenging topographical features to the landscape, and are more wired by comparison. So there goes that excuse.
The telephone grid is in place and servicing most Canadians. Very many Canadians have electrical power.
Of course it shouldn't be this way, but until they either decide to or are compelled to build more capacity our existing system is going to get squeezed more and more, so we aren't in a position to talk about limitless anything,
Instead of being rubberstamps of approval for telcos, Canada's federal telecom regulators could do as NTT DoCoMo in Japan was ordered to do. NTT was simply told by the feds in Japan to make it happen. And they did. No fuss no waling or foot dragging. No long and dragged out deregulation needed. They simply made it happen. Median access speeds in Japan were quite a lot more than in the US or Canada a few years ago.. And all it took was a bit of compelling by the feds.
In 2008, Richard Priestman wrote about municpalities facing a $130 billion dollar infrastructure deficit. Instead of buying [url=http://www.comer.org/2008/2008a/bailcrcrunch.htm]$75 billion[/url] in bank-held mortgages two weeks after the election, the Harpers should have invested that money in much needed infrastructure. The City of Vancouver needs its aging sewers and water works replacing, and they didn't have the money then. I don't think internet capacity was included in deficit figures. But we can be sure that babblers thanks and DonOld could tell us how it could all be be financed.
