Blue Sky
Net assists in the development of Information Communication
Technology (ICT) projects throughout Northern Ontario. Blue Sky Net believes that access
to technology is crucial to the economic and cultural success of
Northern Ontario. We have a three part approach to improving access
to technology:
1) Expand Infrastructure- In
general, Northern Ontario presents some unique challenges when it
comes to delivering technology services to your home or business
(High Speed Internet, Cellular telephone service, etc.) Blue Sky Net
attempts to bring service providers, potential customers and
government programs together to understand why these services aren't
available and to develop a strategy to overcome these service gaps.
2) Improve knowledge- Often
times the term "digital divide" is used to describe the unequal
access by some members of society to ICT, and the unequal
acquisition of related skills. Blue Sky Net feels that acquiring
skills in ICT is just as crucial as access to them. After all, there
is no use owning a hammer if you don't know how to drive a nail!
3) Develop Applications- The
World Wide Web offers access to information from every corner of the
globe. Blue Sky Net is concerned about improving information and
tools that will benefit Northerners specifically. We work with
stakeholders to develop common, beneficial applications that utilize
ICT and make a real benefit to the lives of those who use it.
