I'll give you a personal anecdote. Three years ago I lived right in central Etobicoke and I couldn't get reliable Internet because of where I was located vis-à-vis their hub. That an eye-opener for me.
Yes, broadband is not a “nice to have”, but a fundamental pillar of our economy and will continue to be so.
I don't have an immediate answer as to where it needs to go, because you'd have to map it out and see where the gaps were, obviously in rural and remote areas. But it is one of those things that is a catalyzer of other economic growth. If you put the broadband in, that's not the be all and end all of it; what's really important is what it allows that community to access and develop from that point onward.
