Great stuff everyone and thanks Susan. A truly inspiring story of a very
small very isolated northern indigenous community putting in their own
fibre!

Re the CBC radio interview this morning, it's a great 6-minute overview of

Hi everyone,

In case you missed this news: A team from First Mile including Rob McMahon,
Heather Hudson, Brian Beaton and Norm Leach, plus Lyle Fabian from
Katlodeeche First Nation made a formal presentation yesterday to the CRTC.
We will be posting their written submissions plus the audio recording later
on the First Mile site: http://firstmile.ca Later today they will be
presenting their replies to the other CRTC submissions.

This morning some of the team will be interviewed live on CBC radio Yukon at
7:40 Pacific time. Here's the link to the live stream, hope it's the right
station:

Also, the Globe and Mail covered the CRTC hearings yesterday and their
article included some of Lyle Fabian's presentation:

Congrats everyone for making this significant contribution to bringing the
First Mile / First Nation local ownership of broadband message to a new and
important audience!
