A Toronto-based company says it has plans to bring fibre-optic internet to Iqaluit by 2022.

Last Updated Wednesday, December 23, 2020 6:16PM EST

CanArctic Inuit Networks said in a release Wednesday that it will construct a fibre-optic line more than 2,000 kilometres long between Clarenville, N.L., and Iqaluit.All internet services in Nunavut currently run through satellite, which is slower and less reliable than a fibre connection. It also means internet packages in the territory are limited and internet plans come with data caps and hefty fees for going over monthly limits.

Madeleine Redfern, chief operating officer of CanArctic and a former Iqaluit mayor, said she's been trying to bring fibre-optic internet to Iqaluit and Nunavut for more than 10 years. "The government of Nunavut would not be required to invest because their timelines and processes would delay the project," Redfern said.

Doesn't sound very traditional

Everything is moving to satellite communication

107m? That won’t get you to the mainland. Better check your numbers

Can you say CCP?

This makes no sense at all to me. I think there’s better ways than that.

You can’t make this shit up!

They should build a pipeline at the same time.
