It sounds like a joke but it is not. In Quebec, at least, we need much more sophisticated equipment. For example, we decided to request bids from five companies in order to provide cellular service in the Témiscouata area. All five companies answered that it would be too costly. Furthermore, with the deregulation proposed by the minister, I believe companies will be even less interested in serving us because it will be a race for the most profitable business.
So as long as satellite phone service will not be easily accessible in these communities, these people, these small transport companies, will be faced with a major problem.
Do you believe geography alone allowed you to solve this problem? Do you think there might be some other problem? Is it because of faulty management practices that we are unable to achieve the same results as you?
