Something else I was thinking about when reading this article: the #Quatsino nation could use the $18k saved by this to become an #ISP.
#Indigenous #DigitalSovereignty … I honestly cannot say I have **ever** heard of this, though I suspect some nation, some where, has done it. Yes, there are ongoing costs, risks. And there is a big up-front cost if they want to run fibre to the community.
But likely less than **not** doing it.
