Rural Alberta to Receive High-Speed Internet

It probably seems a little late for those of us who have had the luxury of high-speed internet since somewhere around 2003, so, for rural living citizens throughout Alberta, the arrival of something other than dial-up will be more than welcomed.

Alberta’s government has made a $5 million fund for rural areas around the province to use in order to finally have high-speed internet. Somewhere around 72,000 households, businesses and schools still operate without the advantages of fast internet. This push toward universal high-speed internet should help those areas expand economies, competing with other areas on a leveled-out economic playing field.

In general, Alberta will prosper from this. Furthermore, as far as the housing market and living conditions go, province-wide economic development from this internet push should make for the already comfortable and desirable Edmonton and surrounding areas to be even better for living.
