November 11, 2024
Community Development

Originally published in 2016, Understanding Community Broadband has been updated for 2023 to reflect the growing importance of digital connectivity in everyday life. Broadband is now recognized as an essential utility, on par with water and electricity. This updated toolkit offers expanded guidance, real-world examples from Alberta communities, and insights into technology, policy, and wireless spectrum. It supports communities, service providers, and leaders working to ensure that no one is left behind in the digital age and positions Alberta to lead in building sustainable, long-term broadband solutions.
