Reliable high-speed internet service is vital for modern farms to make business decisions, facilitate marketing of farm products, and operate on-farm technology. Rural communities must have access to broadband internet to stimulate economic development in a dynamic and competitive business environment. OFA supports the South-Western Integrated Fibre Technology Inc. (SWIFT) network’s efforts to bring high-speed internet to southwestern Ontario’s rural and agricultural communities and their request for a review of the Broadband Fund criteria as issued by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).
