High speed internet remains a fantasy for many who live in the South Shore.
The Municipality of Lunenburg is trying to find a way to deal with the problem.
They heard from Craig Hubley who’s been in the tech industry for 35 years.
He says the situation isn’t unique.
“The same as what happened with power and telephone in the 1920’s and 30’s,” he says, “it just was not worth it to serve that last 10-20% of people.”
Hubley says the solution then was to allow controlled monopolies, making rural service part of the deal.
Council has made rural internet a top priority for the coming year.
