Thirteen years ago, the City of Fredericton had the vision to create its own telecommunications company. Recently, it embarked on this groundbreaking initiative.

From the City of Fredericton:

In a groundbreaking initiative, the City of Fredericton’s telecommunications company e-Novations announced it will offer commercial Internet to Fredericton businesses at an astonishing 75 per cent price advantage over commercial rates available in Atlantic Canada beginning this fall.

The eNovations price offering will be Canada’s best value commercial Internet. With this radical price advantage, Fredericton expects to spark strong interest from Atlantic Canada’s knowledge-sector entrepreneurs.

“This is a historic opportunity for Fredericton. It’s a game changer. It will accelerate economic development. Commercial Internet in Atlantic Canada can cost up to four times what it does in Toronto. Today, we’re neutralizing that historic disadvantage and creating an impressive value proposition no other City in Atlantic Canada has been able to match,” said Mayor Brad Woodside. “In fact, no one else in Canada can.”
