Background The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) established a universal service objective that Canadians – in rural and remote areas as well as in urban centers – have access to voice services and broadband Internet access services on fixed and mobile wireless networks. In order to facilitate achieving this universal service objective, the CRTC is establishing a $750-million Broadband Fund to help close the gap in connectivity between rural and urban areas. The CRTC set the following targets for broadband services:

Speeds of 50 Mbps download/10 Mbps upload for fixed broadband services An unlimited data option for fixed broadband services The latest mobile wireless technology available not only to all homes and businesses, but also along major Canadian roads

The CRTC announced the criteria that will be used to evaluate applications for funding from its Broadband Fund in 2018. Details were also announced regarding the fund’s governance, operating and accountability frameworks.
