Provincial and territorial representatives will be invited to participate in a Provincial Panel, which will provide advice to the Task Force. The Task Force will have an opportunity to learn from innovative Internet deployment and usage already underway in provinces and municipalities and draw on their experiences. Defining broadband is one of the Task Force s key missions. While there is no generally accepted definition, broadband connectivity is usually identified according to speed and to capacity. Internet volume is expected to increase exponentially.
Broadband access ensures high speed access for many simultaneous users.
Initial findings will be available in late Spring 2001.
