They're not great. I live in a community called Holyrood, population 3,000. It's about 40 kilometres west of St. John's. You can only get cellphone coverage in one area of the town.
We have high-speed of course but realistically, within the outer metro area of St. John's, we still have difficulties with telecommunications. If you look at where we operate as an industry, 700 kilometres from here on the south coast in small communities, some of which don't have roads, it's obsolete.
For example I'll take salmon farming, if you haven't been to a salmon farm, right now we feed using computers. I have a picture of a young man in rural Newfoundland using an Xbox controller—that's what it looks like—to feed a million fish. To check on my fish in rural Newfoundland from a smart phone, we need broadband.
Just as important or more important than that is safety. In many cases we can't get coverage and we don't have radio signal back to the mainland outside of marine infrastructure.
