Municipalities are taking broadband into their own hands.
In this episode, I chat with Laura Bradley, General Manager of YorkNet, about how York Region is building and managing its own fiber network.
Laura shares how YorkNet went from connecting a few buildings in 2002 to deploying over 1,000 kilometers of fiber today, why open access infrastructure matters, and how strategic planning is shaping the network’s future.
The conversation also touches on unexpected challenges, lessons learned, and why local ownership of digital infrastructure can change the game for residents, businesses, and entire communities.
