One of the issues you mentioned.... Coming from a rural and remote area of Canada, when you're driving into town, you're probably going to lose the cell coverage two or three times. These are the kinds of things rural Canadians see. If you happen to be on the main lines.... I noticed this in some of the discussions we had, and we'll make sure we have those main roads covered, but there is a lot of Canada that is not on the main roads.
We're looking at telehealth, distance learning, and agricultural usages. We've had discussions about how companies like John Deere actually make more money on their data than they do on their steel. These are the kinds of things that the future is going to have. That's where these machines are being used. It becomes more and more important that we have programs that are going to allow for that.
I guess part of why we are having this study is to come up with some of the concerns and issues that people have and present this to you before September 2018, or whatever it is, when you determine what the policies are going to be. The hope is that we will be able to give the information to you and that, as we study this, there will be the flexibility that's required.
I have just a couple of other questions. Have you done a lot of work on rural communities to see what the advantages are of improving the speed and coverage that are required, from an economic perspective? Does anybody discuss that with you?
