CanWISP has been asked to collect input from Northern Ontario ISPs on what is required to serve the remaining underserved households in Northern Ontario. We had an initial meeting In Timmins in December.  We are holding a second in-person meeting in Thunder Bay on January 18th. There will also be a virtual meeting option. The Thunder Bay meeting will be a repeat of the Timmins meeting so there is no need to attend a second meeting, but feel free to join again or email us with any comments you wish you had provided in Timmins.

Details:

Thursday, Jan 18 10:00AM – 2:00PM

Hampton Inn & Suites Thunder Bay

760 Arthur Street West

(807) 577 5000

There is no charge for the event. We will provide refreshments and lunch.

We will include discussion of:

• Backhaul needs
• CapEx / OpEx Funding
• Benefits of an Internet Exchange in Northern Ontario

If you would like to make an overnight hotel room reservation you can call the hotel directly (807) 577 5000.

It would be helpful if you can RSVP to me (jblack@canwisp.ca) so we can have enough food, but don't worry if you decide to come at the last minute - we'll have food. If you are unable to attend in person, but would like to attend virtually we can send a link to the online session.
