The Nova Scotia government has a bold vision to ensure that by the end of 2009, every Nova Scotian will have access to broadband services. It is as important today as paved roads, electricity and telephones were in the past. We need it to communicate, to access information, and to conduct business. The goal is to make Nova Scotia one of the most connected areas in all of North America.
To meet this goal, EastLink and Seaside Communications have been awarded contracts to bring high-speed Internet service to unserved areas of rural Nova Scotia. For information on Halifax Regional Municipality click here.

Businesses, tourism operators and residents have waited a long time for a reliable high-speed service. Although the deadline is the end of 2009, service will become available to subscribers across the province throughout the lifetime of the Initiative, as the infrastructure is put in place. More »
