Winter has come. Finally. If you’re a Game of Thrones fan, the wait between the end of Season 5 and the premiere of Season 6 was a long one. Now that the hit HBO show has caught up with George R.R. Martin’s books, there’s been nowhere to look for answers to some of the series’ biggest questions.
Well Canada… Today was the big day. This morning Axia’s CEO Art Price presented to the #CRTC. It was a welcomed conversation about Canada’s digital future and I think a breath of fresh air to the commission. As I have highlighted the past couple days, the conversation has largely centered around minimum standard of service that can be provided on Canada’s existing infrastructure. We took a different approach. We wanted to focus on Canada’s future and that means fibre.
Today was my second full day listening to the #CRTC hearings in Ottawa. The conversation started with the Canadian Hearing Society. It was a similar conversation to the previous day about how Canadians with disabilities are becoming more and more reliant on technology and it is imperative that they have access to sufficient broadband service.
Today was my first full day attending the CRTC public hearing. The morning started off with a conversation by Deaf Wireless Canada. A committee of concerned Canadian deaf, hard of hearing and deaf-blind wireless consumers that want fairness, equality and standard advertised packages. They raised many interesting points about access to service for deaf people. Large amounts of bandwidth are needed for the services they use because they largely consist of video sharing. This makes total sense… unfortunately in most areas they are forced to purchase bundled packages which include voice that many people in the deaf community do not use.
Hey Canada,
We’ve met but I’ve never officially introduced myself. My name is Weston. I am Axia’s Digital Communications Specialist. If you read our blog, follow us on Twitter or “Like” us on Facebook – you’ve read my posts.

There’s never been a better time to be an online gamer, especially if your platform of choice is a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One console. From highly anticipated game releases to hot expansion packs to major game updates, this spring has been particularly impressive.
Spring is here and in Canada that means two things to all sports fans: the NHL playoffs are right around the corner and the Blue Jays are warming up the bats for the start of another great season. If you’re a sports fan north of the border, this is easily one of the most exciting times of the year.
