UArctic Members and individuals in the communities they represent are asked to contribute feedback on Telecomm, Internet, Broadband needs of their organizations and communities for input to Arctic Council's Task Force on Telecommunications Infrastructure in the Arctic. Please take part in and distribute this survey to any individual living or working in the Arctic.

Telecommunications is a very big topic that includes such things as telephone service, satellite service, Internet and Broadband service, VHS, and radio. Arctic Council has formed a Task Force to assess the current state of Telecommunications in the Arctic, UArctic is represented in TFTIA by Karl Kowalski, the lead of Thematic Network on Arctic Telecommunications and Networking.

We are asking UArctic members and others to provide feedback on the importance of telecommunications to you, your organizations and community. This study is intended to gather general feedback from as broad a representation as possible to determine which topics may be of further importance to people living and working in the North.

This information will also be important to activity planning for the Thematic Network on Arctic Telecommunications and Networking.
