The group of five strategists discussed current Canadian political dynamics – municipal, provincial and federal; current telecommunication proposals and projects being encountered; and future telecom program initiatives anticipated in Alberta and Canada. 

One of the initiatives – the community FTTH proposal - received significant support as a most probable business strategy that could achieve success in the Canadian market.  These same telecom strategists also considered business recommendations for partnership and structure to encourage private and public investment to strengthen Community FTTH program initiatives in Canada.

Clearly, many in this group share the belief that a community network program will attract a significant Canadian telecom business market segment with the community FTTH approach.
