This is mostly Cisco patting itself on the back for some education projects in Canada's north, but I do appreciate how the author spent the time needed to see the north firsthand and to listen to what people told her. This doesn't by itself some things like inequality and poor bandwidth and gaps in social services, but it creates a context for addressing these. Anyhow, the article introduces the Connected North project and Connected North Network and these seem to me similarly to be a start and a context. And it set the stage for a launching Connected North@Home in late March in response to the pandemic.
