“The government should look at consolidating its broadband funding efforts to a single entity, ORION in my opinion. There are numerous instances in Northern Ontario of specific funding for vertical functions which could be more efficiently used under a single network management entity.”

—Paul Inkila, Senior Director, Infrastructure Services, Confederation College
